TL;DR: The concept of a light-dependent activation barrier is introduced to account for the effect of light illumination on electronic and thermal excitations in a single unified picture and provides insight into the specific role of hot carriers in plasmon-mediated photochemistry, which is critically important for designing energy-efficient plAsmonic photocatalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, a plasmonic photocatalyst consisting of a Cu nanoparticle "antenna" with single-Ru atomic "reactor" sites on the nanoparticle surface was proposed for low-temperature, light-driven methane dry reforming.

TL;DR: This approach paves the way for computational screening processes to design, test, and rapidly identify viable surface modifications in silico, which would enable rapid systematic progress in optimizing the match between the carbon fiber treatment and the desired thermoset polymer matrix.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of carbon fiber was rapidly modified by reductive electrochemical deposition employing a range of diazonium salts, and three sets of fibre were generated possessing pendant amine, carboxylic acid, and lipophilic amide (N-hexyl amide) groups.

TL;DR: A magnetic resonance image-enhancing nanoparticle with the potential for use in multiple biomedical imaging and therapeutic applications is demonstrated, and the observed relaxivities are consistent with Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan (SBM) theory.
