Multichannel‐Improved Charge‐Carrier Dynamics in Well‐Designed Hetero‐nanostructural Plasmonic Photocatalysts toward Highly Efficient Solar‐to‐Fuels Conversion

Abstract
The charge-carrier dynamics process in well-designed hetero-nanostructural plasmonic photocatalysts is greatly improved through a multichannel sensitization effect, which therefore results in a significant enhancement of the efficiencies of solar-to-fuels conversion.
