SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE CO-PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND ALKYLENE OXIDES

摘要

Methods of co-producing hydrogen and alkylene oxides are described. One method includes obtaining a reaction mixture that includes water, solvent, alkene reactants, water splitting photocatalyst and an epoxidation catalyst; and exposing the reaction mixture to ultraviolet light, visible light, or both ultraviolet and visible light in a wavelength range of 300 to 700 nm to produce H₂ and alkylene oxides.
