Plasmonic Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction of Silver/Graphene Electrocatalysts.
Nano Letters 2019 January 9
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of paramount importance in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) due to its sluggish kinetics. In this work, a plasmon-induced hot electrons enhancement (PIHEE) method is introduced to enhance ORR property of the silver (Ag)-based electrocatalysts. Three types of Ag nanostructures with differently localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) have been used as electrocatalysts. The thermal effect of plasmonic-enhanced ORR can be minimized in our work by using graphene as the support of Ag nanoparticles. By tuning the resonance positions and laser power, the enhancement of ORR properties of Ag catalysts has been optimized. Among these catalysts, Ag nanotriangles after excitation show the highest mass activity and reach 0.086 mA/μgAg at 0.8V, which is almost 17 times as commercial Pt/C catalyst after the price is accounted. Our results demonstrate that the hot electrons generated from surface plasmon resonance can be utilized for electrochemical reaction, and tuning the resonance positions by light is a promising and viable approach to boost electrochemical reactions.
