title: Non-linear photocatalytic reaction induced by visible-light surface-plasmon resonance absorption of gold nanoparticles loaded on titania particles.
abstract: Nearly second-order (1.87th) light-intensity dependence was observed for photocatalytic oxidation of formic acid in aqueous solutions induced by visible-light surface-plasmon resonance absorption of gold nanoparticles loaded on titanium(IV) oxide prepared by the colloid-photodeposition method using a hole scavenger, indicating that the photocatalytic reaction proceeds through a non-linear process.
