Abstract
of productivity and 80% selectivity in the presence of TEMPO co-catalyst. The hybrid material outperforms the single components and shows recyclability up to at least 5 additional times under red light while maintaining intact productivity; furthermore, it demonstrates versatility by operating also under green, yellow or white light irradiation. We believe that this work will provide a new avenue for using industrial pigment-sensitized materials in photocatalysis exploiting low energy light, providing novel strategies for the future development of this field.
