Heterogeneous visible light photocatalysis for selective organic transformations.

The future development of chemistry entails environmentally friendly and energy sustainable alternatives for organic transformations. Visible light photocatalysis can address these challenges, as reflected by recent intensive scientific endeavours to this end. This review covers state-of-the-art accomplishments in visible-light-induced selective organic transformations by heterogeneous photocat...

Photocatalysis—A Special Issue on a Unique Hybrid Area of Catalysis

Recent Strategies for Improving the Catalytic Activity of 2D TMD Nanosheets Toward the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets have emerged as a fascinating new class of materials for catalysis. These nanosheets are active for several important catalysis reactions including hydrogen evolution from water. The rich chemistry of TMDs combined with numerous strategies that allow tuning of their electronic properties make these materials very attractive f...

ACS Catalysis and the Scope of Papers Sought in Three Catalysis Subdisciplines: Biocatalysis and Enzymology, Molecular Catalysis for Organic Synthesis, and Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Subdisciplines: Biocatalysis and Enzymology, Molecular Catalysis for Organic Synthesis, and Heterogeneous Photocatalysis A a comprehensive catalysis journal, jointly “owned” by the vast array of researchers studying molecules and materials that catalyze reactions, the scope of ACS Catalysis is understandably quite broad. In this regard, the editorial team has stated that the journal seeks the t...

Scale‐Up Synthesis of Fragrant Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Dots from Bee Pollens for Bioimaging and Catalysis

Fragrant nitrogen-doped carbon dots of gram scale can be prepared from commercial bee pollens by a hydrothermal process. These carbon dots of 1-2 nm in size show promising applications in cellular imaging and catalysis/photocatalysis.
