Photocatalysis driven by plasmon-induced hot carriers has been gaining increasing attention. Recent studies have demonstrated that can directly participate in photocatalytic reactions, leading to great enhancement solar energy conversion efficiency, improving the catalytic activity or changing selectivity. Nevertheless, utilization efficiency of remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, how correctly understand generation and transfer process carriers, as well accurately differentiate between possible mechanisms, become a key point In this review, we overview fundamental processes mechanisms underlying carrier transport, followed highlighting importance monitoring methods related reactions.
