Chemical reactions mediated by visible light are important tools in organic synthesis. These reactions occur analogously to light-driven biological processes such as photosynthesis — with the help of ...

Hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant, after dilution in water, to treat wounds. It is widely used across the industry as an eco-friendly oxidizing agent for impurity removal from semiconductors ...

A self-driving system that produces propylene oxide in an eco-friendly manner without electricity or solar energy has been developed. Propylene oxide ...

Graphene oxide is an oxidized form of graphene. The exact structure of graphene oxide depends on the synthesis method used, but it typically consists of graphene sheets laced with covalently bonded ...

Oxidation is a chemical process that causes vehicle paint to break down over time from exposure to heat and oxygen. It is essentially a form of corrosion in which paint loses its oil content, and as a ...
