Plugging the ³ MC Sink in Ru ^II ‐Based Photocatalysts

Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts.

Graphene, a single layer of graphite, possesses a unique two-dimensional structure, high conductivity, superior electron mobility and extremely high specific surface area, and can be produced on a large scale at low cost. Thus, it has been regarded as an important component for making various functional composite materials. Especially, graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted ...

Graphene-Based Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Generation.

Graphene-based photocatalysts have gained increasing interest as a viable alternate to increase photocatalytic H2 production performance in converting solar energy into chemical energy. The use of graphene to enhance the efficiency of photocatalysts has been proved due to its unique two-dimensional conjugated structure and electronic properties. In this Perspective, we have summarized the recen...

Photoassisted oxidation of ruthenium(II)-photocatalysts Ru(bpy)3(2+) and Ru(bpz)3(2+) to RuO4: orthogonal tandem photoredox and oxidation catalysis.

Common photoredox catalysts Ru(bpy)3(2+) and Ru(bpz)3(2+) are rapidly converted into Ruthenium(viii)-oxide through continuous visible light irradiation in the presence of NaIO4 or H5IO6. This hitherto unreported photoassisted catalyst oxidation was utilized in the development of tandem catalytic protocols which combine a photoredox reaction with a subsequent RuO4-mediated oxidation. The new con...
