Selective activation of photocatalysts under constant light conditions has recently been targeted to produce multiresponsive systems.H owever,c ontrolled activation, with easy recovery of the photocatalysts,i nduced by external stimuli remains am ajor challenge.M imicking the responsiveness of biological systems to multiple triggers can offer ap romising solution. Herein, we report dual-responsive polymer photocatalysts in the form of nanogels consisting of ac ross-linked poly-N-isopropylacrylamide nanogel, copolymerised with ap hotocatalytically active monomer.T he dual-responsive polymer nanogels undergo as tark decrease in diameter with increasing temperature,w hich shields the photocatalytic sites, decreasing the activity.T emperature-dependent photocatalytic formation of NAD + in water demonstrates the ability to switch photocatalysis on and off.M oreover,t he photocatalysed syntheses of several fine chemicals were carried out to demonstrate the utility of the designed material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
