Article Abstract
Coupling effects of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) represent an efficient means to tune the plasmonic modes and to enhance the near-field. While LSPR coupling in metal nanoparticles has been extensively explored, limited attention has been given to heavily doped semiconductor nanocrystals. Here, we investigate the LSPR coupling behavior of Cs-doped tungsten oxide (CsWO) nanocrystal platelets as they undergo an oriented assembly into parallel stacks. The oriented assembly was achieved by lowering the dispersion stability of the colloidal nanoplatelets, of which the basal surface was selectively ligand-functionalized. This assembly induces simultaneous blue-shifts and red-shifts of dual-mode LSPR peaks without compromising the intensity and quality factor. This stands in contrast to the significant damping, broadening, and overall red-shift of the LSPR observed in random assemblies. Computational simulations successfully replicate the experimental observations, affirming the potential of this coupling phenomenon of near-infrared dual-mode LSPR in diverse applications including solar energy, bio-optics, imaging, and telecommunications.

Colloidal gold technology has revolutionized viral diagnostics through its rapid, cost-effective, and user-friendly applications, particularly in point-of-care testing (POCT). This review synthesizes recent advancements, focusing on its role in detecting respiratory viruses, hepatitis viruses, and emerging pathogens. The technology leverages the unique optical and physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and high surface-to-volume ratios, to achieve rapid antigen-antibody recognition with visual readouts within 15 min.

Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have garnered widespread academic attention owing to their remarkable optical characteristics. Nonetheless, it is imperative to minimize the laser threshold and non-radiative recombination losses for developing perovskite lasers with superior performance. In this work, an innovative perovskite vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has been developed by integrating gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the resonant cavity to manipulate the light field energy distribution and optical confinement factor, significantly reducing the threshold of perovskite lasers through the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.

Photo-Fenton process produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of degrading organic compounds across diverse chemical environments. However, the challenge of coupling multifunctional modules limited the attentions, which are supposed to be paid on intertwined physicochemical processes in porous heterogeneous aerogel. This study elucidated the hitherto neglected synergistic mechanisms of photo-excitated HO activation through photon-harvesting and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect enhanced by defective sites (coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS) and oxygen vacancy (V)).

Sensitization of wide bandgap semiconductors by coupling with a low-band-gap semiconductor to improve photoinduced charge carrier separation by the built-in electric field is one of the attractive approaches to develop an efficient photocatalyst. Here we present the development of Ag-ZnMnO/exfoliated g-CN (Ag-ZMO/ECN), a novel photocatalyst designed to remove an inorganic pollutant Cr(VI) under direct solar light irradiation. The enhanced performance of Ag-ZMO/ECN is attributed to efficient charge separation, facilitated by the formation of a p-n junction at the interface of narrow-bandgap p-type ZMO and n-type ECN, and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of the deposited Ag nanoparticles.

The pursuit of high-performance saturable absorbers (SAs) demands synergistic optimization of modulation depth, saturation intensity, and response speed─a challenge persisting in ultrafast photonics. While two-dimensional (2D) MXenes exhibit great potential as SA candidates, their intrinsic limitations, including weak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and insufficient near-infrared nonlinear optical responses, hinder further practical laser applications. Herein, guided by the plasmonic coupling theory, we proposed a TiCT/Au nanoparticle (T/A) nanocomposite synthesized via a facile ultrasonic-assisted strategy.
