Photoredox: charge of the LED brigade
Forget fluorescent light bulbs, photochemistry has become a lot more sophisticated
Chemists such as David Macmillan have achieved some pretty impressive feats with photoredox chemistry. Almost a decade since photocatalysis was spectacularly reborn in his Princeton lab, thet’re still pushing it in innovative new directions. And as the field has become more sophisticated, so has the reactor technology used to drive it. 3D printing, flow chemistry and industrial engineering expertise are creating a bright future for light-driven reactions.
