Recent research has brought us one step closer to creating a more efficient photocatalytic oxidation process. Scientists have developed an interfacial modification strategy to increase the efficiency of the process. This strategy involves introducing a specific type of molecular groups on the surface of the photocatalyst, which then modulate the transfer of electrons from the photocatalyst to the oxygen molecules in the air. The result is a significantly higher efficiency of the photocatalytic oxidation process. This new strategy could potentially lead to more efficient and cost-effective ways of generating clean energy from the sun.
