Graphical Various arylacylated oxindoles are synthesized from the visible-light- promoted tandem reaction of N-arylsulfonyl-acrylamides with α-oxocarboxylic acids. The products are obtained under mild conditions. A visible-light-promoted radical tandem reaction of N-arylsulfonyl-acrylamides with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. It undergoes decarboxylation, Smiles rearrangement, and intramolecular cyclization under mild reaction conditions, providing a series of arylacylated oxindoles with potential pharmacological activities.

CH4 production from CO2 hydrogenation provides a clean approach to convert greenhouse gas CO2 into chemical energy, but high energy consumption in this reaction still restrains its further application. Herein, we use a light-driven CO2 methanation process instead of traditional thermocatalysis by an electrical heating mode, with the aim of greatly decreasing the energy consumption. Under UV–vis–IR light irradiation, the photothermal CO2 methanation over highly dispersed Co nanoparticles supported on Al2O3 (Co/Al2O3) achieves impressive CH4 production rates (as high as 6036 μmol g–1 h–1), good CH4 selectivity (97.7%), and catalytic durability. The high light-harvesting property of the catalyst across the entire solar spectrum coupled with its strong adsorption capacity toward H2, CO2, CO, and abundant active sites are proposed to be responsible for the better photothermocatalytic performance of Co/Al2O3. Furthermore, a novel light-promotion effect is also revealed in CO2 methanation, where UV–vis light irradiation induces oxygen vacancies and improves the proclivity toward adsorption of H2, CO2, and CO, finally resulting in a significant enhancement of the photothermocatalytic activity for CH4 production. By concentrating the low-intensity light (120 mW/cm2) via a Fresnel lens, a photothermal CO2 conversion efficiency of more than 50% with a good CH4 selectivity (76%) is achieved on the optimal catalyst under a dynamic reaction system, which indicates the bright prospect of photothermal CO2 methanation.

Bacteria that inhabit glaciers usually produce carotenoids. Here, we report that a group of zeaxanthin-producing glacial Flavobacterium exhibited light-promoted growth. Of the tested 47 strains, 45 showed increased growths but two died under illumination at 50 μmol photon m −2 s −1 . Light stimulation occurred mainly in either anoxic or nutrient-poor cultures, while the same levels of light promotion were found for that grown at 14 and 7 °C. Pigment assays identified overrepresentative zeaxanthin but trace retinal in the light promoted 45 strains, while flexirubin was exclusively in the light-lethal two. Genomic analysis revealed the gene cluster for zeaxanthin synthesis in the 45 strains, in which 37 strains also harbored the proteorhodopsin gene prd . Transcriptomic analysis found that light-induced expressions of both the zeaxanthin synthesis and proteorhodopsin genes. Whereas, deletion of the prd gene in one strain did not diminish light promotion, inhibition of zeaxanthin synthesis did. In comparison, no light promotion was determined in a glacier Cryobacterium luteum that produced a non-zeaxanthin-type carotenoid. Therefore, light stimulation on the glacial Flavobacterium is mostly likely related to zeaxanthin, which could provide better photoprotection and sustain membrane integrity for the organisms living in cold environments.

The dynamic surface self-reconstruction behavior in local structure correlates with oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, which has become an effective strategy for constructing the catalytic active phase. However, it remains a challenge to understand the mechanisms of reconstruction and to accomplish it fast and deeply. Here, we reported a photo-promoted rapid reconstruction (PRR) process on Ag nanoparticle-loaded amorphous Ni-Fe hydroxide nanosheets on carbon cloth for enhanced OER. The photogenerated holes generated by Ag in conjunction with the anodic potential contributed to a thorough reconstruction of the amorphous substrate. The valence state of unsaturated coordinated Fe atoms, which serve as active sites, is significantly increased, while the corresponding crystalline substrate shows little change. The different structural evolutions of amorphous and crystalline substrates during reconstruction lead to diverse pathways of OER. This PRR utilizing loaded noble metal nanoparticles can accelerate the generation of active species in the substrate and increase the electrical conductivity, which provides a new inspiration to develop efficient catalysts via reconstruction strategies.

The light-promoted, nickel-catalyzed hydrogen-evolution C(sp3)–H acylation of simple alkanes with aromatic aldehydes has been achieved without the need for additional photosensitizers or oxidants. This reliable and atom-economical reaction afforded a broad range of aryl alkyl ketones in good yields, with H2 as the sole byproduct. It was successfully demonstrated on a gram scale as well as for the postfunctionalization of drug molecules. Aromatic aldehydes play multiple roles, including a photosensitizer, a coupling partner, and a hydrogen atom transfer agent.
