Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as highthroughput screening and synthesis, easy automation with the integration of on-demand reaction analysis, little or no reaction workup, and potential long-term use of the catalysts in the case of heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous asymmet...

Photocatalysis is a classical solution to energy conversion and environmental pollution control problems. In photocatalysis, the development exploration of new visible light catalysts their synthesis modification strategies are crucial. It also essential understand mechanism these reactions in various reaction media. Recently, bismuth graphene’s unique geometrical electronic properties have att...

Covalent organic framework (COF) is an outstanding manifesto for heterogeneous photocatalysis. Herein, we synthesized a pyrene-based two-dimensional C=C linked π-conjugated COF via Knoevenagel condensation and anchored Ni(II)-center through bipyridine moieties....

This review focuses on a reasoned search for articles to treat contaminated water using hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based compounds. In addition, the fundamentals of heterogeneous photocatalysis were considered, combined with parameters that affect pollutants’ degradation hydroxyapatite-based photocatalyst design and strategies this photocatalyst, challenges perspectives development these materials. M...

The recent advances in photocatalysis have opened a variety of new possibilities for energy and biomedical applications. In particular, plasmonic photocatalysis using hybridization of semiconductor materials and metal nanoparticles has recently facilitated the rapid progress in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency under visible or solar light. One critical underlying aspect of photocatalysis is ...

The term photocatalysis is one amongst several in a quagmire of labels used to describe a photon-driven catalytic process; a simple description of photocatalysis is proposed herein. Other labels such as quantum yield and/or quantum efficiency used in solid/liquid and solid/gas heterogeneous photocatalytic systems to express process efficiencies have come to refer (incorrectly) to the ratio of t...

Monovalent Zn+ (3d104s1) systems possess a special electronic structure that can be exploited in heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis, though it remains challenge to synthesize Zn+-containing materials. By careful design, Zn+-related species can be synthesized in zeolite and layered double hydroxide systems, which in turn exhibit excellent catalytic potential in methane, CO and CO2 activa...
