Abstract Advances in LED and photoreactor technology have brought semiconductor photocatalysis to the verge of feasibility industrial application for synthesis value-added chemicals. However, often observed efficiency losses under intensified illumination conditions still present a great challenge. This perspective discusses origin these what needs be done prevent or counteract it pave way effi...

Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as TiO2 and ZnO have received much attention over the last two decades. However, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the latest class ...

Abstract Cerium oxide (CeO 2 ), also known as, ceria, is a well-known n-type semiconductor material. It finds potential roles in various field applications such as catalysis, sensing and antibacterial. widely used photocatalyst for treatment of waste water pollutants, because the variable oxidation state cerium i.e. +3, +4. Many reports are available literature which deals with synthesis proper...

selective transformation of 2-propargylthio-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4(1h)on e (2) to 3,5-dimethyl-7h-thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidin-7-one (3) is performed under the conditionof base catalysis . for elucidation of structure, palladium catalyzed cyclization reaction of (2) was carried out and the structures of the products were assigned (5) and (6). these compounds underwent isomerization to (3) and (4) r...
