However, it is also desirable to switch the plasmonic response of anisotropic nanostructures by inducing an electric field-dependent nanoparticle reorientation in the liquid crystal matrix. To realize such a composite material, it is first necessary to uniformly disperse metal nanoparticles within the bulk of a nematic liquid crystal. The introduction of plasmonic Au nanoparticles in the active layer enhanced the PCE of the device from 6.19% to 7.01%. Abstract We report an indium tin oxide (ITO) free inverted organic solar cell with an alternate aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) front cathode layer based on the consideration of blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which is However, the integration of plasmonic nanoparticles with 2D materials has largely been limited to lithographic patterning and/or undefined deposition of metallic structures. Surface-functionalized plasmonic metasurfaces open prospects for programmable light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Abstract This paper reports how the interfacial engineering of plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) lattices with desired surface characteristics can control plasmon-molecule interactions for tunable nanolasing thresholds. Even after more than two decades of intense studies, the research on self-assembly processes involving supramolecular interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) is continuously expanding. Plasmonic NPs have attracted particular attention due to strong optical, electrical, biological, and catalytic effects they are accompanied with. Plasmonic nanoparticles offer promisein photoelectrochemistry by enhancing the rate and selectivity of reactions and in sensing by responding optically to local reactions. Optical electrochemical measurements at the single-particle level are necessary for understanding and eventually controlling the role of plasmons in such complex environments.

The optical properties of metal nanoparticles, particularly their localized surface plasmon effects, are well established. These plasmonic nanoparticles can respond to their surroundings or even influence the optical processes (for example, absorption, fluorescence and Raman scattering) of molecules located at their surface. As a result, plasmonic nanoparticles have been developed for multiple Plasmonic nanoparticles from unconventional materials can improve or even bring some novel functionalities into the disciplines inherently related to plasmonics such as photochemistry or (spectro)electrochemistry. They can, for example, catalyze various chemical reactions or act as nanoelectrodes and optical transducers in various applications. the nps are depicted as black dashed lines, and vectors pointing in the z direction stand for the photons that have been scattered at angles close to 90° and are moving inside the membrane, which The nanoparticles such as Au, Ag, and Cu possess shape, and size-dependent surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands thus can be used to construct plasmonic-based sensors. Recently 2D graphene and its composites are widely used as a support to these metal nanoparticles to improve sensitivity and selectivity towards the analytes. The applications of pla
