Abstract

Visible light decomposition of aqueous ammonia to dinitrogen was successfully achieved by using a new photocatalytic system based on a molecular photoelectron relay composed of a sensitizer (Ru(bpy)32+), an electron mediator (methylviologen) and an electron acceptor (dioxygen), which can be used as a visible light-driven photocatalyst instead of UV-driven semiconductors.
