Insights into the plasmonic “hot spots” and efficient hot electron injection induced by Ag nanoparticles in a covalent organic framework for photocatalytic H2 evolution

The introduction of Ag NPs onto TpPa-1-COF using the FDTD method leads to enhancements in interfacial electric field intensity distribution and the “hot spot” region, thereby boosting photocatalytic H 2 evolution efficiency.
