 Localized surface plasmas, LSP, are a type of electromagnetic wave that can be generated when light interacts with metal surfaces. LSPs are known to be lorsi and generate heat, which makes them difficult to measure accurately. This is particularly problematic in plasmonic applications such as catalysis, where the temperature of the particles needs to be monitored. In this study, researchers investigated the effect of temperature on the performance of bimetallic nanoparticles consisting of gold and palladium. They found that the presence of palladium significantly reduced the amount of heat produced by the particles, suggesting that it could be used to improve the efficiency of plasmon-assisted catalysis. Additionally, they measured the temperature of individual nanoparticles using single particle thermometer, providing insight into how the morphology of the particles affects their ability to convert light to heat. Overall, these findings provide valuable information about the role of temperature in plasmon-assisted catalysis, and suggest potential strategies for improving its efficiency.
