Comments on "Recent Developments in Plasmon-Assisted Photocatalysis -- a Personal Perspective"

Abstract

The authors of preprint arXiv:2009.00286 and paper Appl. Phys. Lett. 117, 130501 (2020), Y. Sivan and Y. Dubi, made several wrong and inconsistent comments on our papers [J. Phys. Chem. C 117, 16616-16631 (2013), ACS Photonics 4 (11), 2759-2781 (2017)]. Moreover, the authors of arXiv:2009.00286 addressed in their comments features that were not present in our paper [ACS Photonics 4 (11), 2759-2781 (2017)]. In this document we go through the comments made in arXiv:2009.00286, which we found to be wrong and misleading.
