Abstract

Solar energy for chemical production with high product selectivity under ambient conditions has attracted considerable attention. The development of photocatalytic nanomaterials as antennas to absorb light irradiation plays a pivotal role. Hence, catalysis science and technology is indispensable in these transformations in order to achieve a high conversion and selectivity. This review mainly deals with the development and structure design of photocatalytic plasmonic nanomaterials in the synthesis of clean chemicals and highlights the mechanism of regulating catalytic selectivity.
