A Plasmonic Molybdenum Oxide Hybrid with Reversible Tunability for Visible‐Light‐Enhanced Catalytic Reactions

Abstract

A plasmonic hybrid having Pd nanoparticles on plasmonic MoO(3-x) is developed by a facile solution process, and its plasmonic resonance displays reversible tunability upon oxidation/reduction. Under visible-light irradiation, the Pd/MoO(3-x) hybrid exhibits plasmon-enhanced catalysis toward H2 evolution from ammonia borane hydrolysis and the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction relative to dark conditions.
