New plasmonic photocatalysts for fine organic synthesis

(2018) New plasmonic photocatalysts for fine organic synthesis. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Using visible light to accelerate fine organic synthesis reactions in the presence of photocatalyst is a step forward to the green chemical industry. This thesis developed gold, gold-palladium alloy and copper photocatalysts. Aqueous reactions system is introduced into photocatalysis for an eco-friendly process. The bi-metal nanoparticle is applied to expand the application of metallic photocatalysis in selective synthesis. The theory for copper nanostructure stabilisation on metal nitride is established and successfully applied in organic synthesis. This research is beneficial to the future of the organic chemical industry in terms of the new production model and energy saving.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
