Description

New catalysts to harness electricity and light for chemical synthesis. New catalysts capable of harnessing electricity and visible light will be synthesised, extensively characterised, and used to develop new chemical reactions. The result will be catalysts that are more efficient and robust, enabling access to valuable molecules. The production of these catalysts will enable a better understanding of the intrinsic electrochemical and photophysical processes involved in electrophotocatalysis. The development of new synthetic methodology using these catalysts will enable a sustainable method to streamline access to large libraries of chemical compounds that are valuable especially to the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, textile industries and more..
