The creation of reactive oxygen species in Ag/TiO2 nanomaterials due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of AgNPs under visible light. After excitation, LSPR decays into hot electrons and holes through Landau damping, creating highly energetic charge carriers. On the other hand, AgNPs serve as an excellent electron accumulator for TiO2 under UV irradiation. Reproduced with permission from [138]. Copyright MDPI, 2019.
