  • Multicomponent plasmonic photocatalysts consisting of a plasmonic antenna and a reactive catalytic surface: the antenna-reactor effect
    Patent number: 11958043
    Abstract: A method of making a multicomponent photocatalyst, includes inducing precipitation from a pre-cursor solution comprising a pre-cursor of a plasmonic material and a pre-cursor of a reactive component to form co-precipitated particles; collecting the co-precipitated particles; and annealing the co-precipitated particles to form the multicomponent photocatalyst comprising a reactive component optically, thermally, or electronically coupled to a plasmonic material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: William Marsh Rice University
