The conversion of infrared light to visible-light which allows a larger fraction of sun-light to be used is needed to improve light-harvesting. In this work a tri-functional material composed of an up-converter (NaYF₄–Yb–Tm), plasmonic gold nanorods and CdS was made photocatalytically active using 980 nm wavelength light for the reduction of H⁺ to H₂.

上转换发光与等离激元金纳米棒耦合，用于光收集和产氢

需要红外光到可见光的转换以允许使用更大比例的太阳光以改善光收集。在这项工作中，由上变频器（NaYF ₄ –Yb –Tm），等离激元金纳米棒和CdS组成的三功能材料通过使用980 nm波长的光将H ⁺还原为H ₂使其具有光催化活性。
