23 Papers from 2023<\/h1>\n

Happy New Year from HepatoChem. Every year around this time, we like to look back at the previous year, share a list of our favorite papers and look ahead to where things are headed next. 2023 was a big year for us at HepatoChem. We moved into a new lab space, shipped Lucent360™ photoreactors around the world and expanded our product line of LEDs. Our PhotoRedox boxes, by our unofficial tally, were cited more than 70+ times in the literature in 2023 alone and topping 200+ since launch. We took part in a great research project using the Lucent360™ published this year<\/a>. Also, we added many new posts to our blog<\/a> and newsletter on fun and obscure topics such as Fenton Boats<\/a>, DNA sequencing<\/a> and the Origin of Life<\/a>. What does 2024 have in store for us? Expect a new PhotoReactor, more LED options, more publications using our products, and more blog posts and newsletters.<\/p>\n

As for our favorite papers from 2023? Some like to make their year-end lists sometime around early December fully forgetting an entire month of the year. We would like to be fashionably late and send this out some time in the next year. If you see this before the end of January, we consider it a success. This will be our 4th list \u00ab\u00a0highlighting\u00a0\u00bb the photochemistry literature (previous lists can be found here, 2020<\/a>, 2021<\/a>, and 2022<\/a>). We would specifically like to highlight \u00ab\u00a0highlighting\u00a0\u00bb as reviewing the sum of photochemistry literature from 2023 is virtually impossible. It’s a safe bet to say that more photochemistry papers were published last year than any previous year, and we don’t have time for that. As we described in the past, these are our favorite 23 photocatalysis papers from 2023. This is not a list that attempts to find the best, or most viewed, or most famous 23 papers from the year. Or rank them in any way. This is not generated by Chat GPT, these are simply our handpicked favorites. As always, if your paper is Open Access, we’re more likely to like it as well. We are certain that we have missed many great papers from the past year and hope that you, the reader, can help us out with any that we missed. Instead, this is just a list of the 23 papers that we thought were the best, funniest, oddest, most interesting, or downright unexpected. Since most people are just skipping past this past this description anyway or simply hitting \u00ab\u00a0control+F\u00a0\u00bb for their name anyway, we’ll just get to the list.<\/p>\n

So, here we go. Keep reading for our favorite papers from 2023 and then send us your favorites on twitter (@EvoluChem<\/a>) or at info@hepatochem.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our original and still on-going business is oxidizing drug compounds to make metabolites. So, when we see a paper that combines our two favorite things, hydroxylation and photochemistry, it’s going to make our list.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Comment<\/strong>: Another paper we shared earlier this year. We recently added UV capabilities to the Lucent360 extending the instrument’s range from 254 nm to 808 nm. As a result, we’ve started looking more into reactions that can be run at more \u00ab\u00a0traditional\u00a0\u00bb photochemistry wavelengths in the UV but also have visible light companions. That reading led us here, a great example of upconversion of blue light into the UV region.<\/p>\n

\nHere is our list of the 23 photochemistry papers that we thought were the best funniest oddest most interesting or downright unexpected of 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7786,"featured_media":24801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"We are huge fans of what could be classified as \u201ccreative photocatalysts\u201d. One of our favorite papers over the past few years was this work that we wrote about here<\/a> using Hypericum flowers as an organic dye for C-C bond formation. A few dried flower petals, a base and an LED and you have a new photochemical reaction. So, if your paper can be described as using a \u201cFenton Boat photocatalyst\u201d, well you have our attention.\r\nIf you Google \u201cFenton Boats\u201d, you get links to a boat shop in Fenton, Michigan, but we\u2019ll argue that soon you will get this recent paper in Angewandte from Zhijun Chen and coworkers entitled, \u201cA Sustainable Wood-Based Iron Photocatalyst for Multiple Uses with Sunlight: Water Treatment and Radical Photopolymerization<\/a>\u201d\r\nWhat\u2019s a Fenton Boat? Stick around and we\u2019ll explain. And show you a video of a photocatalyst boat.\r\n\r\nEmbed tweet:\r\n
