TiO₂ photocatalysis for C–C bond formation

Abstract

Synergistic utilization of TiO2-photo-generated holes and electrons is a potential protocol for catalytic C–C bond formation reactions.

Engineering of highly active Au/Pd supported on hydrogenated urchin-like yolk@shell TiO2 for visible light photocatalytic Suzuki coupling

“…[10][11][12] TiO 2 nanomaterials are extensively considered as state-ofthe-art photocatalysts for energy conversion and environmental protection. [13][14][15] Nevertheless, the low photocatalytic performance caused by the large band gap, rapid recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and low specific surface area is a challenging issue which needs to be addressed to enable useful applications. 16,17 Structure engineering is a highly promising approach for improving the optical and electronic properties of TiO 2 in the visible light region.…”

Synthesis of TiO2nanoparticles at low hydrothermal temperature and its performance for DSSC sensitized using natural dye extracted fromMelastoma malabathricumL. seeds

“…The use of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) in wide range of applications has been well‐known including sensors, photocatalyst in environmental purification, and electrochemical devices . The discovery that TiO 2 can be used as a semiconductor in the development of dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has driven even more intensive research and led investigators to find a rapid and cheap way to synthesize TiO 2 nanoparticles.…”

Photocatalytic Approaches for Hydrogen Production via Formic Acid Decomposition

“…The great potential of TiO2 for a photocatalytic application was firstly discovered by Akira Fujishima in the late 1960s with his investigation on the water photosplitting [71,72]. After that, TiO2 became the most used semiconductor material for photocatalysis and it has been utilized for countless applications [73][74][75][76][77]. Its application for the production of H2 from FA has also attracted great attention.…”
