Herein, a novel visible-light photocatalytic radical addition-translocation-cyclization (RATC) approach for the efficient synthesis of sulfonyl-containing azacycles is described. The reaction delivers a wide range of monocyclic, bicyclic and polycyclic azacycles by using easily prepared sodium sulfinates and -homopropargylic amines as starting materials. Instead of the traditionally used toxic tin reagents and thermally hazardous azos in the RATC process, clean, renewable and sustainable visible light combined with a catalytic amount of photosensitizer is used in this process. Moreover, the successful transformation of some drug derivatives further highlights the potential application of this procedure.

The photocatalytic stereoselective trifluoromethylselenolation of -arylalkenyl iodides with [MeN][SeCF] is described under different conditions. These reactions enabled the first controllable synthesis of arylalkenyl trifluoromethyl selenoethers in good yields and with high - or -selectivity.

Visible-light-responsive Rh/Sb co-doped SrTiO with engineered {100}/{110} facets (STO:RS(NaCl)) was synthesized flux-assisted crystallization. Facet-dependent spatial charge separation, driven by work function differences, enabled electrons and holes to migrate to the respective facets. This configuration tripled photocatalytic hydrogen evolution non-faceted STO:RS(w/o), overcoming the limitations of ultraviolet-only absorption and inefficient charge separation.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.

Effective removal of ethylene (CH) during fruit and vegetables storage and transport remains a critical challenge for post-harvest preservation. Although S-scheme heterojunctions can improve charge separation and redox capacity for ethylene degradation, their efficiency is still restricted by limited carrier transfer and sluggish oxygen activation. Here, we rationally designed a novel 2D/2D SnNbO/BiMoO monolayer S-scheme heterojunction integrated with Pt co-catalyst to address these limitations.

This study explores highly active nitride-based g-CN/CuO photocatalysts for CO photoconversion by synthesizing them through high-pressure torsion (HPT) straining. Data indicate that increasing the applied strain under high pressure promotes vacancy formation and improves the electronic interaction at the g-CN/CuO interphases, enabling superior charge separation and extended light absorption. The generation of dual vacancies of oxygen and nitrogen is verified by electron paramagnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic methods, and the generation of a type-II heterojunction is confirmed by band structure analysis.
