Figure 10. Mechanisms of SPP and LPR-based catalysis. (A) Light trapping in nanorod and nanowire; (B) SPP and LPR; (C) 1D ~ 3D Photonic structures; (D) Brief history of plasmonic-photonic hybrid structures. The emergence of the photonic bandgap concept^[172], widespread adoption of Bragg Mirror^[173], discovery of the Honda-Fujishima effect^[174], experimental realization of 2D photonic crystals^[175], development of opal and inverse opal photonic crystals^[176], establishment of woodpile and gyroid architectures^[177,178], and recent advances in plasmonic-photonic hybrid PEC photoelectrodes enabling enhanced light harvesting and hydrogen production^{[164,179-182]}. hν: Energy of photon; 1D: one-dimensional; 2D: two-dimensional; PEC: photoelectrochemical; PMMA: poly(methyl methacrylate); PBG: photonic bandgap; SPP: surface plasmon polariton; LPR: lattice plasmon resonance.
