Innovative Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Innovative Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Photocatalysis nowadays is considered as a powerful tool that enables chemical transformation with unprecedented yields and selectivity. The advantage of the photocatalytic approach compared to the traditional methods, those using chemicals or heating to activate chemical bonds, is not only improvement of the yields. A very selective cleavage of chemical bonds is possible. It could be accomplished combining the light of appropriate wavelength, i.e. photon energy, along with the specific photocatalyst.

The Innovative Heterogeneous Photocatalysis is a team of creative chemists. We develop new photocatalytic reactions in order to make value added chemicals from simple feedstocks. Carbon nitrides are our tools, while visible light is the fuel that energizes the carbon nitride photocatalyst. [more]
