The aluminum-based metal-organic framework (MOF) made from 2-aminoterephthalate is a photocatalyst for oxygen evolution. This MOF can be modified by incorporating Ni2+ cations into the pores through coordination to the amino groups, and the resulting MOF is an efficient photocatalyst for overall water splitting.

The photoredox-mediated coupling of benzylic ethers with Schiff bases has been accomplished. Direct benzylic C-H activation by a combination of a thiol catalyst with an iridium photocatalyst and subsequent radical-radical coupling with secondary aldimines affords a variety of β-amino ether products in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that a reductive quenching pathway of th...

A hollow Fe2O3-TiO2-PtOx photocatalyst for visible light H2 generation was prepared from nanosized MIL-88B consisting of coordinatively unsaturated metal centers as a hard template. This photocatalyst is composed of hybrid metal oxide-TiO2 with controllable wall thickness and two different cocatalysts that are separately located on two surface sides.

A new strategy is described to immobilize photoactive C(60) aminofullerene on silica gel (3-(2-succinic anhydride)propyl functionalized silica), thus enabling facile separation of the photocatalyst for recycling and repeated use. An organic linker moiety containing an amide group was used to anchor C(60) aminofullerene to the functionalized silica support. The linker moiety prevents aqueous C(6...

in this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite (ba-α-bi2o3-γ-fe2o3) was successfully synthesized through a combination of ultrasound and co-precipitation method under mild conditions. the structure of the synthesized nano-composite as a visible light photocatalyst was investigated by the xrd, tem, hrtem, uv-vis and ft-ir. the hrtem confirmed that the nano-magnetic composites are rods with diamet...

A novel Ag-based photocatalyst Ag2Nb4O11 has been obtained, which exhibits universal high-efficiency photodegradation activity for rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) organic dyes. The cycling ability (40 times) and recovery characteristics indicate that the Ag2Nb4O11 photocatalyst has high stability, durability and regeneration ability.
