Photocatalytic chemical transformations are a hot topic in photocatalysis field and have received significant attention in recent years. Plasmonic photocatalysts based on metal surface plasmon resonance are novel visible light response photocatalysts, which have been applied in the catalysis of various important organic reactions, such as aerobic oxidation of alcohols, epoxidation of alkene, reduction of nitro-compounds, C—C coupling, and oxidation of benzene to phenol. Herein the recent progresses in selec...
