A better understanding of ‘hole hopping’ in solar cells

28-Nov-2013 - A team of scientists from the UK, Spain and Switzerland say a method they have developed for probing electron transfer reactions could help them design more efficient solar cells. The research team, led by Piers Barnes of Imperial College London, has pioneered a technique that measures the ...

Solar-powered electrochemistry reduces reagent waste in synthetic organic reactions

30-Oct-2013 - Scientists in the United States have combined electrochemistry with synthetic organic chemistry to perform chemical oxidations that consume only sunlight and produce only hydrogen as a reduction product to reduce reagent waste. The researchers connected a photovoltaic cell to the reaction flask, ...

HX-splitting photocatalysis for solar fuels

07-May-2013 - Photochemical HX splitting reactions (X = halogen) provide a route for solar-to-fuel energy conversion and halogen photoelimination is a critical step in the process. Scientists in the US have investigated the photoreduction mechanism of a pair of valence-isomeric dirhodium phosphazane complexes ...

Opening the door to unexplored carbene chemistry

26-Oct-2010 - Scientists in Germany have shed new light on the addition of small molecules to the ubiquitous N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), previously thought to be impossible for NHCs. Ulrich Siemeling and colleagues have shown that stable NHCs can show strongly enhanced reactivities towards fundamentally ...
