Real-time plasmonic monitoring of electrocatalysis on single nanorods
Changes in the optical properties of single gold nanorods during electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in alkaline media are monitored in real-time by single-nanoparticle dark-field spectroelectrochemistry.The spectral scattering characteristics under dynamic potential scan conditions are closely related to the electrochemical processes,and the electrochemical catalytic mechanism of the process is discussed.Moreover,changes in free-electron density are evaluated using a Drude dielectric function with charge density-modification.The proposed sensing technique based on plasmonic analysis shows significant promise for the design and research of electrochemical catalytic systems at the single-nanoparticle level.
