Methods for tuning plasmonic and photonic optical resonances in high surface area porous electrodes

Abstract Surface plasmons have found a wide range of applications in plasmonic and nanophotonic devices. The combination of plasmonics with three-dimensional photonic crystals has enormous potential for the efficient localization of light in high surface area photoelectrodes. However, the metals tra...
