Abstract

), we analyze the plasmonic response of models with specific defect motifs demonstrating that structural defects influence the absorption profile. Finally, we discuss how these morphology-induced changes in the electronic structure and plasmonic behavior could potentially modulate electrochemical activity in catalytic systems.
