Rhodium nanoparticles enable ultraviolet plasmonics, enhancing Raman spectra and fluorescence via local field effects and charge transfer. This demonstrates potential for plasmonically driven ultraviolet photocatalysis.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Plasmonics
  • Photocatalysis

Background:

  • Noble metals are crucial for plasmonic applications.
  • Ultraviolet (UV) plasmonics remains an underexplored area.
  • Rhodium (Rh) offers unique catalytic and optical properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce nonoxidizing catalytic noble metal rhodium for UV plasmonics.
  • Investigate the plasmonic behavior of Rh nanoparticles in the UV range.
  • Explore applications in enhanced spectroscopy and photocatalysis.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized 8 nm Rh nanoparticles using a modified polyol reduction method.
  • Fabricated planar tripods of Rh nanoparticles.
  • Attached p-aminothiophenol to the nanoparticle surface.
