Overview of the main motivations for the realization of nanoalloys for plasmon‐enhanced catalysis. (A) Plasmon decay preferentially with intraband transitions. (B) The energy of hot carriers increases. (C) The metal work function decreases. (D) The Mott–Schottky barrier decreases. (D) The interface energy barrier with molecular adsorbates decreases. (F) The metal d‐band is shifted to facilitate the interaction with molecular adsorbates. (G) Hot‐carriers localization, mean free path and lifetime are improved. (H) Hot‐carriers generation rate increases.
