The aim of this research is to improve the efficiency of plasmonic photocatalysts on the basis of innovative design guidelines. In particular, the research focuses on constructing a system that can drive photocatalytic reactions with high efficiency by utilizing photo-induced nanofabrication, which uses light to fabricate plasmonic nanostructures, and higher-order plasmon modes. As a result of examining the reactions that can be used for photo-induced nanofabrication, we obtained insights into the oxidation reaction mechanisms of plasmon-induced charge separation and found that reduction reactions can also be applied to the nanofabrication method. In addition, a cocatalyst was introduced site-selectively to plasmonic nanoparticles via the photo-induced nanofabrication to improve the charge separation efficiency. It was also suggested that a higher-order plasmon mode show high charge separation efficiency.
