Radicals generated by light can only unfold their reactivity as soon as they break out of a kind of “cage” that the solvent forms around them. Researchers in Basel show how to make this “cage escape” more successful and how it leads to more efficient photochemistry. Credit: University of Basel, Jo Richers
Researchers from the University of Basel are now going one step further and are demonstrating how the energy efficiency of photochemical reactions can be increased tenfold. More sustainable and cost-effective applications are now tantalizingly close. The research group led by Professor Oliver Wenger at the University of Basel now describes a fundamental principle which has an unexpectedly strong impact on the energy efficiency of photochemistry and can increase the speed of photochemical reactions. Their results are published inIn the case of this kind of reaction, the starting molecules are in a liquid solution. If they receive energy in the form of light, they can exchange electrons with one another and form radicals.
