Immobilization of a phosphonated cobalt bis(terpyridine) catalyst on TiO2 nanoparticles generates a photocatalyst that allows coupling aqueous CO2 -to-syngas (CO and H2 ) reduction to selective oxidation of biomass-derived...
Dye-sensitised photoanodes modified with a water oxidation catalyst allow for solar-driven O2 evolution in photoelectrochemical cells. However, organic chromophores are generally considered unsuitable to drive the...
Dye-sensitised photoelectrochemical (DSPEC) cells have emerged in recent years as a route to solar fuel production. However, fuel-forming photocathodes are presently limited by photo-corrodible narrow band gap semiconductors or...
Approximately 70% of global municipal solid waste is lost to landfills or the environment each year, an emblem of our increasingly unsustainable economic system in which materials and energy are produced, used and promptly...
Dye-sensitised photoanodes modified with a water oxidation catalyst allow for solar-driven O2 evolution in photoelectrochemical cells. However, organic chromophores are generally considered unsuitable to drive the...
Metal salt hydrate (MSH) solutions allow for the complete solubilisation of biomass and we demonstrate its use as a reaction medium for the photocatalytic reforming of lignocellulose. Different types of photocatalysts such as...
