Experimental verifications of the hot electron injection energy transfer. (a) Photochromism of TiO2 thin film dispersed with Ag PNPs, which originates from the electron exchange between Ag and TiO2. (b) IR absorption of Au/TiO2 in comparison with N3/TiO2 and Au/ZrO2. (c) Experimentally determined electron injection process and timescale. (d) Probe reaction of Ag+, which is used to detect electrons. Figure reproduced with permission: a, Ref. 73, © 2003 NPG; b, c, Ref. 74, © 2007 ACS; d, Ref. 79, © 2015 Wiley-VCH. IR, infrared.
