Research Outline

Plasmon-induced charge separation at the interface between plasmonic nanoparticles and p-type semiconductors

Compared to conventional systems using n-type semiconductors, these nanoparticles are expected to have higher stability and catalytic activity, and we aim to apply them to photoelectric conversion and photocatalysis.

Application of photoenergy harvesting effect by plasmonic nanoparticles

By controlling photoenergy collection properties such as wavelength using monolayer particle films and anisotropic plasmonic nanoparticles, we aim to apply them to photoelectric conversion, photocatalysis, and high-sensitivity sensing.
