The strong size and morphology dependence of metallic nanostructures to tune their visible to near-infrared (vis-NIR) light harvesting capabilities has been combined with the design of a wide variety of architectures for the semiconductor supports to promote the selective activity of specific crystallographic facets. The search for efficient heterojunctions has been subjected to numerous studies, especially those involving gold nanostructures and titania semiconductors. In the present review, we paid special attention to the most recent advances in the design of gold-semiconductor hetero-nanostructures including emerging metal oxides such as cerium oxide or copper oxide (CeO2 or Cu2O) or metal chalcogenides such as copper sulfide or cadmium sulfides (CuS or CdS). These alternative hybrid materials were thoroughly built in past years to target research fields of strong impact, such as solar energy conversion, water splitting, environmental chemistry, or nanomedicine. Herein, we evaluate the influence of tuning the morphologies of the plasmonic gold nanostructures or the semiconductor interacting structures, and how these variations in geometry, either individual or combined, have a significant influence on the final photocatalytic performance. 000097387 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/742684/EU/Catalytic Dual-Function Devices Against Cancer/CADENCE$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 742684-CADENCE 000097387 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000097387 590__ $$a4.146$$b2020 000097387 591__ $$aCHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL$$b67 / 162 = 0.414$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT2 000097387 592__ $$a0.8$$b2020 000097387 593__ $$aPhysical and Theoretical Chemistry$$c2020$$dQ2 000097387 593__ $$aCatalysis$$c2020$$dQ2 000097387 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/review$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000097387 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1791-0188$$aBonet-Aleta, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000097387 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8762-6203$$aBueno-Alejo, C.J. 000097387 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4546-4111$$aHueso, J.L. 000097387 7102_ $$15005$$2555$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
