PEM Electrolysis-Assisted Catalysis Combined with Photocatalytic Oxidation towards Complete Abatement of Nitrogen-Containing Contaminants in Water

Electrolysis-assisted nitrate (NO₃⁻) reduction is a promising approach for its conversion to harmless N₂ from waste, ground, and drinking water due to the possible process simplicity by in-situ generation of H₂/H/H⁺ by water electrolysis and to the flexibility given by tunable redox...

Cascading g-C₃N₄ and Peroxygenases for Selective Oxyfunctionalization Reactions

Peroxygenases are very interesting catalysts for specific oxyfunctionalization chemistry. Instead of relying on complicated electron transport chains, they rely on simple hydrogen peroxide as the stoichiometric oxidant. Their poor robustness against H₂O₂ can be addressed via in situ generation of H₂O<sub>2<...

Selective Photooxidation Reactions using Water-Soluble Anthraquinone Photocatalysts

The aerobic organocatalytic oxidation of alcohols was achieved by using water-soluble sodium anthraquinone sulfonate. Under visible-light activation, this catalyst mediated the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The photo-oxyfunctionalization of alkanes was also possible under these conditions.
