Stereoselective Organic Reactions in Heterogeneous Semiconductor Photocatalysis

Application of Semiconductor Photocatalysis for Effective Elimination of Organic Contaminants from Sewage

The ZnO/SiO2 semiconductor nanophotocatalysis was synthesized via sol-gel method. Also, theplatinum particles were loaded on the ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. Thestructure of catalyst was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) andfourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD patterns of ZnO particlesdisplayed the nanoparticles have ...

Inner-sphere heterogeneous electrode reactions. Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis: the challenge.

This paper offers a perspective on inner-sphere heterogeneous electron-transfer reactions and electrocatalysis as it is applied to electrochemical energy conversion systems. Fundamental concepts and an overview of past approaches to studies of these types of reactions are discussed. A method for the discovery of new electrocatalysts (for example, ones for the oxygen reduction reaction) and phot...

Visible-light-promoted stereoselective alkylation by combining heterogeneous photocatalysis with organocatalysis.

The application of sensitizers to utilize visible light for chemical reactions is an established method. Several recent publications have impressively demonstrated the versatile use of visible light for various transformations, such as the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides, and [2+2], [3+2], and [4+2] cycloadditions as well as carbon– carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formations. The comb...
