Database aids photocatalytic hydrogen production, organic synthesis
phys.org —
A new database summarizing 40 years of research on photocatalytic dehydrogenation reactions has been created, aiding the development of green hydrogen production and organic synthesis. The database, compiled by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, includes 236 entries from over 200 articles, categorizing reactions and analyzing photocatalyst performance for hydrogen generation and organic compound conversion. The research aims to improve solar spectrum utilization and develop new organic reactions. This database provides a valuable resource for researchers to compare photocatalytic systems and identify promising avenues for advancements in sustainable energy and chemical synthesis.
