Here is a midyear recap of photochemistry papers that we thought were the best, funniest, oddest, most interesting, or downright unexpected so far this year.

Here is a midyear recap of photochemistry papers that we thought were the best, funniest, oddest, most interesting, or downright unexpected so far this year.
This month we highlight recent work of several students from the Balasubramanian Lab at the University of Cambridge using EvoluChem Photoredox Boxes in their graduate studies.
Photocatalysis with iron and wood? Fenton Boats? Stick around and we’ll explain—And show you a video of a photocatalyst boat!
At first we decided to summarize the Ni cross-coupling photocatalysis literature in a short review—But we quickly realized that’s a terrible idea. Instead, we took on the much more enjoyable task and screen this chemistry with the Lucent360.
Featuring a project where “hey that’s weird & very wrong” turns into something fantastic: Bold decisions, stubbornness & ingenuity result in a new opportunity.
Here is our list of the 22 photochemistry papers that we thought were the best, funniest, oddest, most interesting, or downright unexpected of 2022.
Learn how to streamline with Lucent360 customized reaction screenings and save on time & setups when matching optimal wavelength to a photocatalyst.
What if we could shine a blue LED on our 8 billion tons of plastic waste and get back a valuable chemical feedstock? Click to read about the Reisner group’s work looking at tackling this problem.
Seawater: It’s abundant, messy, contains salts, microorganisms, biomass, organic and inorganic pollutants (and microplastics) and might just be a great solvent for generating hydrogen peroxide with visible light photocatalysis
How should we compare commercial photoreactors? Or better yet, how do we discuss the important details of a photochemical reaction?
Beyond the best photochemistry papers of 2021, read about the amazing year we had here at HepatoChem.
