DESCRIPTION
A RUDN chemist has developed new photocatalysts consisting of nanostructures from titanium dioxide. Hollow nanocubes with ultra-thin walls act like nanoreactors and provide for 28-fold more effective organic reactions at room temperature under the influence of visible light. The results are published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental.
