In these studies, researchers used metal-organic nanomaterials and cobalt and nitrogen co-doped anatase nanoparticles to absorb and degrade airborne and waterborne pollutants.
An important topic for environmental remediation has been the development of porous nanomaterials. These metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are being seen as an alternative to traditional, inorganic porous materials. MOFs are demonstrating their ability to be efficient absorbents or catalysts in gas separation, solar energy conversion, and photocatalytic applications.
Triclosan is a common antimicrobial agent and common aquatic pollutant. Previous methods of degrading this pollutant were attempted using UV irradiated TiO2 proved inefficient. Cobalt and nitrogen co-doped anatase nano-catalysts (Co-TiO2-N) were effective at degrading triclosan under UV and visible light.
These studies pertain to the development of materials that contribute to environmental sustainability such as creating recyclable materials and developing solar cells.
A stable and recyclable CF3 source and an inexpensive thiocyanating agent were used to promote a highly selective and efficient strategy for the trifluoromethyl-thiocyanation of alkenes under transition-metal, photocatlyst, and additive-free conditions. This protocol is economical and environmentally benign. It can be used for styrenes, acrylates, and unactivated alkenes.
Graphene has proven to have incredible properties for photoelectrochemical applications and the development of next generation systems. Novel graphene-based materials are being used in a wide-range of applications like the development of solar cells and the photocatalytic decomposition of organic pollutants.
Silica-supported Ti catalysts have fascinating properties such as single-site catalysts to nanoparticles, their surface-chemistry engineering, and the fabrication of nanocatalysts. Their large surface area, controllable pore channels, and transparency to UV/vis is useful for developing porous materials for various environmental uses and solar fuels.

These studies pertain to the development of pharmaceutical drugs and pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds.
Identifying small molecule drugs using phenotypic screening is a formidable challenge without knowledge of their associated protein targets. Identifying these targets is an important step in drug discovery. A broadly general platform for photocatalytic small molecule target ID was used to identify these small molecule drugs.
Researchers have indicated a unique way for C-S cross-coupling to occur which allows for cross-coupling between building blocks containing pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds.
The anti-malarial drug, parvaquone, was synthesized in a single step. This was done using a visible light-promoted metal-free cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) method for the alkylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones and Selectflour as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) agent.
