Description
Syrine Affès and co-authors built a light-driven catalyst for turning alcohols into more valuable oxidised products. They fixed a cobalt-boron cluster compound, tipped with a pyrene group, onto sheets of graphene oxide without firm bonds.
The hybrid had the smallest bandgap of the versions tested. Under UVA light in water, it oxidised them with high yield and selectivity, beating even the loose form of the catalyst. Graphene oxide seems to help by moving charge and stopping charge recombination. It was filtered off and reused six times without losing strength, passing 45,000 turnovers, which suits it for greener production.
