Plasmonic hotspots can enhance hot charge carrier generation, offering new opportunities for improving the photocatalytic activity. In this work, eight types of heteronanostructures are synthesized by selectively depositing catalytic metals at the different sites of highly asymmetric Au nanocups for the photocatalytic oxidation of o-phenylenediamine. The oxidation of this molecule has so far mainly relied on the use of H2O2 as an oxidizing agent in the presence of an appropriate catalyst. The photocatalytic oxidation under visible l
