Visible-Light-Driven Photooxidation of alcohols using surface-doped graphitic carbon nitride

摘要

Carbon-nanodot-doped g-C3N4 is used as a photocatalyst to promote the aerobic oxidation of alcohols and oxyfunctionalisation of activated hydrocarbons. A critical E-factor analysis of the current reaction system reveals its limitations en route to environmentally acceptable oxidation procedures.
