title: A semimetal bismuth element as a direct plasmonic photocatalyst.
abstract: The bismuth element synthesized by a facile chemical solution method exhibited an admirable and stable photocatalytic activity towards the removal of NO under 280 nm light irradiation due to the surface plasmon resonance mediated direct photocatalysis, and most strikingly, showed a catalytic "memory" capability following illumination.
