Fenton Boat Photocatalysis: An Adventure with Iron and Wood

Photocatalysis with iron and wood? Fenton Boats? Stick around and we’ll explain—And show you a video of a photocatalyst boat!

Choose Your Own Adventure (with photoinduced cross-coupling)

At first we decided to summarize the Ni cross-coupling photocatalysis literature in a short review—But we quickly realized that’s a terrible idea. Instead, we took on the much more enjoyable task and screen this chemistry with the Lucent360.

Photochemistry Surprises!!!

Featuring a project where “hey that’s weird & very wrong” turns into something fantastic: Bold decisions, stubbornness & ingenuity result in a new opportunity.

Photocatalytic Deconstruction of Polystyrene

What if we could shine a blue LED on our 8 billion tons of plastic waste and get back a valuable chemical feedstock? Click to read about the Reisner group’s work looking at tackling this problem.

photocatalysis in seawater
Photocatalysis in Seawater

Seawater: It’s abundant, messy, contains salts, microorganisms, biomass, organic and inorganic pollutants (and microplastics) and might just be a great solvent for generating hydrogen peroxide with visible light photocatalysis

Comparing Commercial Photoreactors

How should we compare commercial photoreactors? Or better yet, how do we discuss the important details of a photochemical reaction?
