Switching the direction of plasmon-induced photocurrents by cytochrome c at Au-TiO(2) nanocomposites.
A simple route for controlling the direction of plasmon-induced photocurrents at gold nanoparticles deposited on TiO(2) films is reported for the first time that is based on the electronic state of gold nanoparticles conjugated to redox-active cytochrome c and plasmon-enhanced electron exchange.
