Plasmonic TiN-Supported CuPd Alloy for Highly Selective and Base-Free Photocatalytic Glaser Homocoupling

Abstract

An ice-templated CuPd/TiN catalyst is reported for efficient, basefree photocatalytic Glaser homocoupling. Synergizing TiN's LSPR effect with CuPd alloying, the system achieves 99% conversion and 100% selectivity. XAS-confirmed electron transfer from Cu to Pd facilitates superoxide radical generation, providing a robust and sustainable strategy for green C-C coupling.
