Au tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for catalysis

Abstract

Plasmon-driven chemical reactions have been a prospective field for surface plasmon resonance and tip-enhanced Raman scattering. In this review, the principles of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) are first introduced. Following this, the use of Au TERS for plasmon-driven synthesis catalysis is introduced. Finally, the use of Au TERS for catalysis of dissociation reactions is discussed. This review can provide a deeper understanding of Au TERS for plasmon-driven catalysis.
