Red-light-driven catalysis presents a promising alternative to conventional blue light photocatalysis, offering enhanced light penetration, functional group tolerance, and energy efficiency. However, its widespread application remains underdeveloped, partly due to the lack of readily accessible photocatalysts capable of efficiently absorbing low-energy red photons. A promising, yet underexplored, strategy involves direct spin-forbidden singlet-to-triplet excitation. In this study, we demonstrate the experimental evidence that [Ru(bpy)3]2+ can engage in photocatalysis through direct singlet-to-triplet excitation under red light irradiation. This finding, supported by optical and spectroscopic investigations, broadens the reactivity of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and offers broadly applicable design principles for robust Ru(II) photocatalysts suited for red-light-driven reactions.

To address the dual challenges of plastic waste management and sustainable hydrogen storage, we propose an innovative strategy to upcycle post-consumer polystyrene (PS) waste into liquid organic hydro...

While the number of reports on the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction increases at an ever-accelerating rate, achieving long-term stable, selective, and energy efficient operation is still chall...

Chirality-controlled reaction cycles: Reaction cycles are constructed to respond to the chirality (handedness) of an acylating agent. Left- and right-handed aminoacyl phosphate esters modulate the st...

The increase in electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) will generate a massive number of spent LIBs in the future. LiFePO4 has recently become the most desired cathode for LIB...

The direct synthesis of para-xylene (p-X) from CO2 hydrogenation with high space-time yield (STY) remains a significant challenge due to two primary limitations: the Anderson–Schulz–Flory distribution...

Hydrogenolysis of lignin produces a complex mixture of products, including small lignin-derived monomers, dimers, and higher oligomers. Using poplar and lignin model compounds, the authors demonstrate...

Lithium-ion battery safety is a topic of large importance, and testing is associated with large costs. Safety evaluation is therefore needed also at a…
