Engineering Plasmon‐Semiconductor Coupling in Spatially Ordered Supraparticles for Boosted Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution
under visible light, representing a significant enhancement over the mixture of the same components and outperforming previously reported similar NP-based systems. Ultrafast spectroscopic analyses combined with finite element simulations reveal that spatial confinement facilitates plasmon-mediated interactions between Au and CdSe@CdS NPs, leading to enhanced plasmonic local electric fields and efficient plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer from Au to the semiconductor domains. These photophysical advantages collectively account for the markedly improved photocatalytic activity. This study demonstrates nanoscale spatial engineering as a versatile strategy for tailoring hybrid architectures toward high-efficiency solar-to-chemical energy conversion.
