Our paper on near-infrared light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution has been published in Chem Photo Chem.
Our collaborative study with Prof. Kojima’s group at the University of Tsukuba has been published in Chem Photo Chem. In this work, we demonstrated efficient hydrogen evolution under near-infrared light irradiation by employing a saddle-distored shaped porphyrin as a photosensitizer.
From our laboratory, Mr. Ehara (D3) contributed to elucidating the mechanism behind the high quantum yield of this system through femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, which enabled quantitative analysis of triplet state formation and intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency.
