Title: Near‐Infrared Light‐Driven Photocatalysis with an Emphasis on Two‐Photon Excitation: Concepts, Materials, and Applications
Abstract Efficient utilization of sunlight in photocatalysis is widely recognized as a promising solution for addressing the growing energy demand and environmental issues resulting from fossil fuel consumption. Recently, there have been significant developments in various near‐infrared (NIR) light‐harvesting systems for artificial photosynthesis and photocatalytic environmental remediation. This review provides an overview of the most recent advancements in the utilization of NIR light through the creation of novel nanostructured materials and molecular photosensitizers, as well as modulating strategies to enhance the photocatalytic processes. A special focus is given to the emerging two‐photon excitation NIR photocatalysis. The unique features and limitations of different systems are critically evaluated. In particular, it highlights the advantages of utilizing NIR light and two‐photon excitation compared to UV–visible irradiation and one‐photon excitation. Ongoing challenges and potential solutions for the future exploration of NIR light‐responsive materials are also discussed.  more » « less

    Melanin is a stable, widely light-absorbing, photoactive, and biocompatible material viable for energy con- version, photocatalysis, and bioelectronic applications. To achieve multifunctional nanostructures, we synthesized melanin nanoparticles of uniform size and controlled chemical composition (dopamelanin and eumelanin) and used them with titanium dioxide to fabricate donor–acceptor bilayers. Their size enhances the surface-to-volume ratio important for any surface-mediated functionality, such as photo- catalysis, sensing, and drug loading and release, while controlling their chemical composition enables to control the film’s functionality and reproducibility. Inkjet printing uniquely allowed us to control the de- posited amount of materials with minimum ink waste suitable for reproducible materials deposition. We studied the photochemical characteristics of the donor–acceptor melanin–TiO2 nanostructured films via photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under selective UV-NIR and Vis-NIR irradiation con- ditions. Under both irradiation conditions, they exhibited photocatalytic characteristics superior to pure melanin and, under UV-NIR irradiation, superior to TiO2 alone; TiO2 is photoactive only under UV irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic characteristics of the melanin–TiO2 nanostructured bilayer films, particularly when excited by visible light, point to charge separation at the melanin–TiO2 interface as a possible mechanism. We performed ultrafast laser spectroscopy to investigate the photochemical charac- teristics of pure melanin and the melanin–TiO2 constructs and found that their time-resolved photo- excited spectral patterns differ. We performed singular value decomposition analysis to quantitatively deconvolute and compare the dynamics of photochemical processes for melanin and melanin–TiO2 heterostructures. This observation supports electronic interactions, namely, interfacial charge separation at the melanin and TiO2 interface. The excited-state relaxation in melanin–TiO2 increases markedly from 5 ps to 400 ps. The results are remarkable for the future intriguing application of melanin-based con- structs for bioelectronics and energy conversion.

    Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an important research problem relevant to a variety of sustainable energy technologies. However, obtaining high photocatalytic efficiency from visible light absorbing semiconductors is challenging due to a combination of weak absorption, transport losses, and low activity. Aspects of this problem have been addressed by multilayer approaches, which provide a general scheme for engineering surface reactivity and stability independent of electronic considerations. However, an analogous broad framework for optimizing light–matter interactions has not yet been demonstrated. Here, we establish a photonic approach using semiconductor metasurfaces that is highly effective in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of GaAs, a high-performance semiconductor with a near-infrared bandgap. Our engineered pillar arrays with heights of ∼150 nm exhibit Mie resonances near 700 nm that result in near-unity absorption and exhibit a field profile that maximizes charge carrier generation near the solid–liquid interface, enabling short transport distances. Our hybrid metasurface photoanodes facilitate oxygen evolution and exhibit enhanced incident photon-to-current efficiencies that are ∼22× larger than a corresponding thin film for resonant excitation and 3× larger for white light illumination. Key to these improvements is the preferential generation of photogenerated carriers near the semiconductor interface that results from the field enhancement profile of magnetic dipolar-type modes.

    Abstract One-photon-absorbing photosensitizers are commonly used in homogeneous photocatalysis which require the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) /visible light to populate the desired excited states with adequate energy and lifetime. Nevertheless, the limited penetration depth and competing absorption by organic substrates of UV/visible light calls upon exploring the utilization of longer-wavelength irradiation, such as near-infrared light (λ irr  > 700 nm). Despite being found applications in photodynamic therapy and bioimaging, two-photon absorption (TPA), the simultaneous absorption of two photons by one molecule, has been rarely explored in homogeneous photocatalysis. Herein, we report a group of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes possessing TPA capability that can drive a variety of organic transformations upon irradiation with 740 nm light. We demonstrate that these TPA ruthenium complexes can operate in an analogous manner as one-photon-absorbing photosensitizers for both energy-transfer and photoredox reactions, as well as function in concert with a transition metal co-catalyst for metallaphotoredox C–C coupling reactions.

    Abstract Microswimmers are self‐propelled particles that navigate fluid environments, offering significant potential for applications in environmental pollutant decomposition, biosensing, and targeted drug delivery. Their performance relies on engineered catalytic surfaces. Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with atomically precise structures, tunable optical properties, and high surface area‐to‐volume ratio, provide a new optimal catalyst for enhancing microswimmer propulsion. Unlike bulk gold or nanoparticles, AuNCs may deliver tunable photocatalytic activity and increased catalytic specificity, making them ideal co‐catalysts for hybrid microswimmers. For the first time, this study combines AuNCs with TiO2/Cr2O3Janus microswimmers, combining the unique properties of both materials. This hybrid system capitalizes on the tuned optical properties of AuNCs and their role as co‐catalysts with TiO2, driving enhanced photocatalytic performance under ultraviolet (UV) excitation. Using motion analysis, it is shown that the AuNC‐microswimmers exhibit significantly greater propulsion and mean squared displacement (MSD) as compared to controls. These findings suggest that the integration of nanoclusters with semiconductor materials enables state of the art, light‐switchable microswimmers. These AuNC‐microswimmer systems may thus offer new opportunities for environmental catalysis and other applications, providing precise control over catalytic and motile behaviors at the microscale.

    Abstract Visible‐light photocatalysis has advanced as a versatile tool in organic synthesis. However, attaining precise stereocontrol in photocatalytic reactions has been a longstanding challenge due to undesired photochemical background reactions and the involvement of highly reactive radicals or radical ion intermediates generated under photocatalytic conditions. To address this problem and expand the synthetic utility of photocatalytic reactions, a number of innovative strategies, including mono‐ and dual‐catalytic approaches, have recently emerged. Of these, exploiting chiral organocatalysis, such as enamine catalysis, iminium‐ion catalysis, Brønsted acid/base catalysis, andN‐heterocyclic carbene catalysis, to induce chirality transfer of photocatalytic reactions has been widely explored. This Review aims to provide a current, comprehensive overview of asymmetric photocatalytic reactions enabled by chiral organocatalysts published through June 2021. The substrate scope, advantages, limitations, and proposed reaction mechanisms of each reaction are discussed. This review should serve as a reference for the development of visible‐light‐induced asymmetric photocatalysis and promote the improvement of the chemical reactivity and stereoselectivity of these reactions.
