Metal-free photocatalysts with charge-transfer excited states enable visible light-driven atom transfer radical polymerization.

Chem Commun (Camb)

Metal-free donor-acceptor photocatalysts enable efficient O-ATRP under visible light, allowing for precise control over polymer molecular weight with low dispersity. These photocatalysts achieve sufficient reductive potential to drive the reaction in their charge-transfer (CT) excited state. The reported efficient photocatalytic O-ATRP has significant potential in scalable polymer synthesis and photolithography.

Upcycling Iron Oxide Scale Slag into a High-Performance, Sustainable Ozone Catalyst.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

November 2024

School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, 212013, China.

Upcycling iron slag into a monolithic catalyst has led to low-cost heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) strategies for water treatment. The primary industrial challenges are the low chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction rate in treating authentic wastewater and difficulties sustaining close-loop reaction cycles. In this study, we present a monolithic catalyst transformed from low-cost iron oxide scale slag (IOS) for highly efficient, sustainable ozone catalysis.

In excited centrosymmetric donor-acceptor triads of type A-D-A or D-A-D, symmetry breaking charge transfer (SBCT) in polar media has been explored for a few decades. SBCT is accompanied by significant reorganization of the electronic structure of the molecule, which leads to a change in the fluorescence transition dipole moment (TDM). Previously, experiments revealed a 20%-30% reduction in TDM, which occurs on the timescale of SBCT.

Quantitative Spectroscopic Analysis of Surface-Reaching Photoexcited Holes in g-CN/TiO Z-Scheme Heterojunctions.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Article Synopsis
  • The Z-scheme heterojunction effectively enhances photocatalytic performance, but there's limited quantitative research on its impact on surface-reaching photoexcited charges.
  • This study quantitatively analyzed the concentration of surface-reaching photoholes in g-CN/TiO Z-scheme heterojunctions for the first time, showing that the concentration strongly depends on the g-CN content and interface characteristics.
  • The findings reveal that an optimized Z-scheme heterojunction can increase the photohole concentration by almost 1.7 times compared to regular TiO, thanks to a unique charge transfer mechanism involving intrinsic interface defects that trap holes and promote charge separation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the charge separation process in a pyrene- and triarylamine-based donor-acceptor dyad through advanced spectroscopy techniques.
  • Photoexcitation leads to rapid charge separation in polar solvents, influenced by the interaction between the molecular components and solvent dynamics.
  • The findings indicate that the evolution of the charge transfer state is significantly driven by the solvent environment and intramolecular structural adjustments during the reaction.
