Homogeneous-like photocatalysis: covalent immobilization of an iridium(III) complex onto polystyrene brushes grafted on SiO₂ nanoparticles as a mass/charge transfer-enhanced platform

Abstract

Current heterogeneous photocatalysis faces the major bottle-necks of limited mass transfer, charge recombination and tedious immobilization of expensive photocatalysts. In this work, fac-Ir(ppy)3 is directly anchored at a low-cost via...
