Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications.

Scientists have developed a unique electrochemical platform that can convert biomass into valuable chemicals while generating ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the structure ...

Figure 1: Model alcohol oxidation and catalyst synthesis. The reactions of a series of primary and secondary alcohols and mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols with acetone as the hydrogen ...

Photocatalytic aerobic oxidation reactions rely on the electron-hole pairs generated by semiconductor materials (such as TiO₂, g-C₃N₄) upon light absorption. These charge carriers further ...

Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...
