Recently, this plasmon-assisted photocatalytic effect was shown to be predominantly associated with the heating induced by illumination [Faraday Discuss. 2019; Chem. Sci. 2020]. This pure thermal interpretation was based initially on our self-consistent theory of the electron distribution under continuous-wave illumination [Light: Sci. Appl. 2019]. This result was corroborated by independent thermal calculation [Chem. Sci. 2020, Nanoscale 2020, ACS Photonics 2021]. We further extended our developed model to study the importance of nonlinear photothermal effects in plasmon-assisted photocatalysis experiments [Nanoscale 2022]. This shows that any claim for dominance of non-thermal electrons in plasmon-assisted photocatalysis must account for this photothermal nonlinear mechanism.
