The high recombination rate of photoexcited carriers in titanium dioxide (A-TiO₂) makes its photocatalytic activity practically low. As one solution, we focused on the utilization of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). In the present study, we developed A-TiO₂/Au-NPs/A-TiO₂/Au-NPs (IMIM) nanostructures, which consist of Au-NPs and A-TiO₂ in stack form. The photocatalytic activity of the developed IMIM nanostructures was revealed by comparison with other nanostructures.
