Can We Harness Light Like Nature for a New Era of Green Chemistry?

Researchers from the University of Melbourne have developed new photocatalysts that mimic plants by absorbing multiple photons, enabling more efficient light energy harnessing for chemical reactions. This innovative approach allows for the synthesis of carbanions using visible light and common materials, providing a greener alternative for producing vital organic chemicals, including drugs, with reduced energy and waste.
