Despite numerous reports on noble metal/metal oxide composites, the control of the exposed facet is still a great challenge. Here, the large-scale synthesis of noble metal/metal oxide spheres with controlled facets is enabled by making use of a bottom-up self-assembly strategy.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the reusability of metal/metal oxide-coupled ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) to degrade rhodamine B (RhB). Design/methodology/approach ZnO NRs particles were synthesized by precipitation method and used to remove various types of metal ions such as Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cr2+ ions under UV illumination. The metal/metal oxide-coupled ZnO NRs were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance. The photodegradation of RhB dye by these metal/metal oxide-coupled ZnO NRs under UV exposure was assessed. Findings The metal/metal oxide-coupled ZnO NRs were successfully reused to remove RhB dye in which more than >90% of RhB dye was degraded under UV exposure. Furthermore, the coupling of Ag, CuO, MnO2, Cd and Ni particles onto the surface of ZnO NRs even enhanced the degradation of dye. The dominant reactive species involved in the degradation of RhB dye were •OH- and •O2−-free radicals. Research limitations/implications The coupling of metal/metal oxide onto the surface of ZnO NRs after metal ions removal could affect the photocatalytic performance of ZnO NRs in the degradation of organic pollutants in subsequent stage. Practical implications A good reusability performance of metal/metal oxide-coupled ZnO NRs make ZnO NRs become a desirable photocatalyst material for the treatment of wastewater, which consists of both heavy metal ions and organic dyes. Originality/value Metal/metal oxide coupling onto the surface of ZnO NRs particles improved subsequent UV-assisted photocatalytic degradation of RhB dye.

We firstly, in this review, introduce the optical properties of plasmonic metals, and then focus on introducing the unique optical properties of the noble metal–metal-oxide hybrid system by revealing the physical mechanism of plasmon–exciton interaction, which was confirmed by theoretical calculations and experimental investigations. With this noble metal–metal-oxide hybrid system, plasmonic nanostructure–semiconductor exciton coupling interactions for interface catalysis has been analyzed in detail. This review can provide a deeper understanding of the physical mechanism of exciton–plasmon interactions in surface catalysis reactions.
