Reversible Tuning of the Surface Plasmon Resonance of Indium Tin Oxide Nanocrystals by Gas-Phase Oxidation and Reduction
Abstract
Heavily doped oxide nanocrystals exhibit a tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the infrared, a property that is promising for applications in photonics, spectroscopy, and photochemistry. Nanocrystal carrier density and, thus, spectral response are adjustable via chemical reaction; yet, the fundamental processes that govern this behavior are poorly understood. In this work, we study the time dependence of the LSPR supported by indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocrystals during O2 and N2 annealing with in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). We show that the LSPR red-shifts upon oxidation in O2 and blue-shifts to its original position upon reduction in N2. A reaction–diffusion model allows us to rationalize the underlying physicochemical processes and quantitatively connect nanocrystal redox chemistry, solid-state diffusion, carrier density, and the LSPR.
