A RUDN chemist created nanoreactors to synthesize organic substances under visible light

A RUDN chemist developed a new type of photocatalysts -- nanostructures from titanium dioxide. Hollow nanocubes with ultra-thin walls act like nanoreactors and provide a 28-fold enhancement in promoting organic reactions at room temperature under the influence of visible light. The article about the development was published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental.
