Dicyanobenzothiadiazole (DCBT) Organic Dye as a Visible Light Absorbing Strong Photoinduced Oxidant with a 16 Microsecond Long‐Lived Excited State (Adv. Energy Mater. 2/2023). Issue 2 (13th January 2023) - Li, Qing Yun
Abstract : Photocatalytic Water Oxidation The art representing article number 2203102 by Nathan I. Hammer, Jared H. Delcamp, and co‐workers depicts the organic molecular photosensitizer QL11‐OEG being irradiated with visible light under water. The strong photooxidant QL11‐OEG is in a 16 microsecond long‐lived excited state near a ruthenium‐based water oxidation catalyst. QL11‐OEG is oxidizing the ruthenium‐based catalyst to drive the conversion of water molecules to molecular oxygen which is shown as bubbles rising to the surface.
