The artificial photosynthesis technology known as the Honda-Fujishima effect, which produces oxygen and hydrogen or organic energy from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, is an effective energy and environmental technology. The key component for the higher efficiency of this reaction system is the anode electrode, generally composed of a photocatalyst formed on a glass substrate from electric...

In a laboratory study, the effectiveness of combined tartrate and citrate as photocatalyst in solar photocatalytic oxidation and removal of arsenic from ground water was studied and a method, using a naturally occurring tartrate-citrate photocatalyst that can be used at the household level to treat small quantities of drinking water was developed. Kinetic tests performed with 250 μg/L As(III)-s...

Iodo-Bodipy immobilized on porous silica was used as an efficient recyclable photocatalyst for photoredox catalytic tandem oxidation-[3+2] cycloaddition reactions of tetrahydroisoquinoline with N-phenylmaleimides to prepare pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline.

Photodeposition of a Rh cocatalyst under atmospheric conditions could simultaneously provide both Rh metal and oxide nanoparticles on a K(2)Ti(6)O(13) photocatalyst, both of which cooperatively promoted the photocatalytic hydrogen production from water and methane.

A micro-sheet anatase TiO(2) single crystal photocatalyst with a remarkable 80% level of reactive {001} facets was synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route involving titanium tetrafluoride and a tetrafluoroborate-based ionic liquid.

Considering light absorption by narrowing the band gap and gas capture by the mesostructure and basicity of material, an efficient artificial photosynthesis system was constructed based on a mesoporous ZnAl(2)O(4)-modified ZnGaNO photocatalyst.

Correction for 'One step in situ synthesis of CeO2 nanoparticles grown on reduced graphene oxide as an excellent fluorescent and photocatalyst material under sunlight irradiation' by Animesh Kumar Ojha et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, DOI: .

We describe here a surface-bound, oxide-based procedure for the photooxidation of a family of aromatic hydrocarbons by a phosphate-bearing flavin mononucleotide (FMN) photocatalyst on high surface area metal-oxide films.

A magnetic NG@CoFe2O4 photocatalyst was developed via a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. The CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were found to have a size between 100-150 nm and were unifo...
