On July 20, according to the Dalian Institute of Chemicals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, researcher Zhang Fuxiang's team of researchers from the Solar Hydrogen Storage Materials and Catalysis Research Group made new progress in photocatalytic selective oxidation of ethane to acetic acid. The team discovered that the plasmon resonance effect of gold can promote photoelectron transfer and secondary excitation, regulate oxygen reduction to produce superoxygen radicals rather than hydroxyl radicals, and thus achieve highly selective photocatalytic synthesis of ethane to acetic acid under mild conditions. Related work was published in the “Journal of the American Chemical Society”.
