This is the public website of the EU-funded project Plasmon-Driven Catalysis on Bimetallic Nanostructures: Au-Pd for the Selective Oxygenation of Hydrocarbons (PLACABIN). This project has been conducted by Dr. Gang Xiao from Jan-2022 to Dec-2023 at Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) under the supervision of Prof. Graham Hutchings. This project PLACABIN aims to develop a universal principle guiding the design of bimetallic nanostructures for plasmonic-driven catalysis through an in-depth study of the intermetallic effects and the plasmon-driven selective mechanism in a representative system: Au-Pd bimetallic photocatalysts catalysing the selective oxygenation of hydrocarbons. Project updates will be provided continually on this website.
