Article Abstract

A series of Ru-Co dinuclear complexes have been synthesized and assayed as photocatalysts for the reduction of CO to CO in organic solvents. The Ru-Co complexes, with tris-diimine coordination at the Co ion, are the best supramolecular photocatalysts for CO reduction with a non-noble metal catalytic center reported so far.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has gained significant attention as a promising nonmetallic semiconductor photocatalyst due to its photochemical stability, favorable electronic properties, and efficient light absorption. Nevertheless, its practical applications are hindered by limitations such as low specific surface area, rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, poor electrical conductivity, and restricted photo-response ranges. This review explores recent advancements in the synthesis, modification and application of g-C3N4 and its nanocomposites with a focus on addressing these challenges.

Iridium is used in commercial light-emitting devices and in photocatalysis but is among the rarest stable chemical elements. Therefore, replacing iridium(III) in photoactive molecular complexes with abundant metals is of great interest. First-row transition metals generally tend to yield poorer luminescence behavior, and it remains difficult to obtain excited states with redox properties that exceed those of noble-metal-based photocatalysts.

Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for Advanced Catalysis Materials, College of Chemistry and Materials Sciences, Zhejiang Normal University, 688 Yingbin Road, Jinhua 321004, P. R. China.

-Difluorohomoallyl amines, an important class of -difluoroalkenes, are prevalent moieties in many bioactive compounds. However, limited methods are suitable for the synthesis of this type of compound containing secondary amines. Here, we display a photocatalytic multicomponent protocol for the synthesis of -difluoroalkenes containing secondary amines, which makes use of readily available materials: arylamines, alkyl aldehydes, and α-trifluoromethyl alkenes.

Figure-eight macrocycles represent a fascinating class of π-conjugated units characterized by unique aesthetics and non-contact molecular crossing at the center. Despite progress in synthesis over the past century, research into inorganic, organic, and polymeric figure-eight materials remains in its infancy. Here we report the first examples of figure-eight covalent organic frameworks by condensing figure-eight knots to create extended porous figure-eight π architectures.

Type II/Schottky heterojunctions-triggered multi-channels charge transfer in Pd-TiO-CuO hybrid promotes photocatalytic hydrogen production.

J Colloid Interface Sci

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hubei Key Laboratory of Biomass Fibers and Ecodyeing & Finishing, Wuhan Textile University, Wuhan 430200, PR China. Electronic address:

Rapid charge recombination, limited light response, and slow surface reactions were observed in the photocatalysts, thereby limiting their future-oriented applications in photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting. Constructing a multi-channel charge separation photocatalysis system could solve those questions. In this study, Pd-TiO-CuO composites were successfully accomplished via a facile chemical reduction method.
