Photocatalysis in Seawater
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
Comparing Commercial Photoreactors
How should we compare commercial photoreactors? Or better yet, how do we discuss the important details of a photochemical reaction?

Photochemistry of earth-abundant metals
A recurring theme in our recent articles: there isn’t enough iridium or ruthenium in the earth’s crust to do all the photochemistry we’d like to do at scale.
The Attack of the Photocatalytic Microrobots!
The attack of the photocatalytic microrobots! We have intended to write a bit about visible-light decomposition of contaminants for a while... so what better entry into the topic than a story about self-propelled autonomous microrobots that can...
