Photocatalysis with Visible Light Prof. Tehshik P. Yoon Department of Chemistry University of Wisconsin‐Madison
Green plants use the energy in clean, abundant sunlight to synthesize the organic compounds necessary to sustain themselves. Using photosynthesis as an inspiration, we are developing new approaches to chemical synthesis that exploit the energy in visible light. If successful these methods will be useful in the synthesis of valuable, structurally complex organic molecules and will decrease the overall environmental footprint of the chemical industry.
