Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis: Bromide-Mediated Photocatalysis for Spatially Decoupled Olefin Epoxidation and Hydrogen Evolution
production is achieved, accompanied by an olefin-to-epoxide selectivity as high as 97%, significantly higher than that obtained in a conventional single-compartment reactor system. This work demonstrates an effective mediator-assisted strategy to suppress both competing side reactions and undesired reaction pathways in photocatalysis, providing a promising route for the rational design of efficient artificial photosynthetic platforms.
