Functionalized Nanodiamonds Generate Solvated Electrons under Solar Illumination
Researchers from the LEDNA group at the NIMBE laboratory (CEA-CNRS) in collaboration with several international partners have demonstrated that the electronic structure of nanodiamonds can be engineered to generate solvated electrons under visible light illumination. This advance opens new avenues for photocatalysts capable of harnessing solar energy to drive highly demanding chemical reactions, such as…
