Reaction dynamics of excited radical ions revealed by femtosecond laser flash photolysis
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews, Volume 35Author(s): Mamoru Fujitsuka, Tetsuro MajimaAbstractHerein, we review studies on the dynamics of excited radical ions. The enhanced reactivities of excited radical ions are recognized by many researchers based on product analysis studies conducted around 1980. For cases involving fluorescent excited radical ions, lifetime measurements provide information on excited states, and they sometimes lead to confusion owing to emissive byproducts resulting from their higher reactivities. Nanosecond laser flash photolysis...

Recent development on MoS2-based photocatalysis: A review
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews, Volume 35Author(s): Zizhen Li, Xiangchao Meng, Zisheng ZhangAbstractMoS2-based photocatalysts attract wide attention as they possess a suitable band gap for visible-light harvesting, making it a promising earth-abundant photocatalyst for hydrogen production, environmental remediation, and photosynthesis. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, limited quantity of active edge sites, and difficult photocatalyst separation and recycling hinder the practical application of this material. In t...

Publication date: September 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews, Volume 36Author(s): Andrey G. Lvov, Marat M. Khusniyarov, Valerii Z. ShirinianAbstractFor a long time, starting from pioneering works of M. Irie in the late 80 s and early 90 s of the last century, photochromic diarylethenes were primarily associated with dithienylethenes – diarylethenes possessing thiophene groups. However, about 10 years ago, azole heterocycles (thiazole, oxazole, imidazole) started to be used as aryl moieties instead of common thiophenes, which contributed significantly to the development ...
