The photocatalytic activity of materials synthesized by titanium dioxide impregnation with chromates(VI) was studied in the processes 4-chlorophenol oxidation and photocurrent generation. show measurable when excited visible light. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies revealed presence chromium(V) species even without irradiation. Detection photogenerated reactive oxygen species, together elucidation electrochemical properties materials, enabled assumption a very unique mechanism...
Titania particles modified with an extremely small amount (<0.01 mol%) of a rhodium species exhibited photocatalytic activity for the oxidative decomposition acetaldehyde in air under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeded via two-photon band-gap excitation mechanism resembling Z-scheme external redox couple, using built-in Rh(iii)-Rh(iv) couple.
Visible light-induced redox reactions of low-concentration rhodium-introduced titania proceeded through two photoexcitation rhodium(<sc>iii</sc>) to the conduction band and an electron in valence thus-generated rhodium(<sc>iv</sc>).

The core-shell NaYb0.99F4:Tm0.01@NaYF4 upconverting particles (UCPs) with a high UV emission to apply in NIR-driven photocatalysis were synthesized. influence of the Yb3+ doping concentration NaYxF4:Yb0.99−xTm0.01 core particles, and role NaYF4 shell on upconversion intensity UCPs studied. absorption NIR light by obtained was maximized increasing core, reaching maximum for Y3+-free (NaYb0.99F4:Tm0.01). Additionally, covering NaYb0.99F4:Tm0.01 protective layer minimized surface luminescence...
In the pre-Hispanic Central Andes, mummified bodies of ancestors stood as basis for social and cosmic order. This work discusses chemical compositions determined by using molecular elemental analytical methods.
Photocatalytic systems based on upconverting particles often require a complex, multi-component design. We demonstrate how to boost their photocatalytic activity by neither increasing complexity nor changing chemical nature.

Abstract Colloidal coordination compounds in the sub‐micrometer range were synthesized from a chloro gold(I) carbene complex via anti‐solvent procedure and stabilized by surfactant shell of Tween 20. This compound was successfully applied as model system to monitor heterogeneous multiphase ligand substitution reactions at solid–liquid interface.

Titanium(IV) oxide (titania) constitutes one of the most common base for highly active photocatalysts due to proper electronic structure and physicochemical properties. The main drawback this wide bandgap semiconductor is range effective light which limited ultraviolet radiation. Bulk modification titania with some transition metal ions allows extend its photocatalytic activity toward visible light, however, origin often not sufficiently explained. Although a lot studies were devoted bulk...
Polymeric carbon nitrides (PCN) are sustainable, tunable, non-toxic and chemically stable materials that represent highly promising heterogeneous photocatalysts for light-driven hydrogen peroxide production via selective reduction of dioxygen. However, most the studies on photocatalytic H2O2 using PCN-based reported so far have used PCN powder suspensions been carried out in presence additional (sacrificial) electron donors, such as aliphatic or aromatic alcohols. Herein, we report first...
