According to this finding, under visible-light excitation, gold NPs drive a process called photo-redox catalysis, with shares same characteristics and mechanistic features of traditional semiconductor photocatalysis. Through electron harvesting with the help of holes scavenger material and under the appropriate condition, in which in this finding, the appropriate condition is identified as inter-band excitation, higher photon flux, and rapid hole scavenging; a multi electron-holes pair are generated and multi-electron reactions can be driven. Through this finding also, the uses of plasmonic gold NPs as a catalyst in photo-redox reaction could help in the reduction of Carbon Monoxide (CO2) as an example or any other material by modifying the compound under light excitation to form another hydrocarbon compound with the help of hole scavenger material that acts as a catalyst in the …show more content…
These popularized articles do have their own unique ways of attracting the readers as many as possible. This technique could be seen especially in uses of headlines of their article through expression or words that sort of a click-bait that would gain audience’s attention. Even though the scientific terms in the scientific article had been changed to easier term and could lead to audience’s misunderstanding regarding the scientific finding, these popularized articles had done a good job in maintaining the actual data and accurate conclusion without making any incorrect assumptions. Other than that, the popularized article also had done a good job in explaining the research findings towards the public, like an example from the article that analyzed, by providing caricature to explain the mechanism of the research findings. As a wrap, the popularized article may have their special way that is different from the scientific article in informing the public about the research findings, however, I think it is a good alternative in providing the latest research news for the
