The combination of nickel- and photocatalysis has unlocked a variety of cross couplings. These protocols rely on a few photocatalysts that can only convert a small portion of visible light (<500 nm) into chemical energy. Many dyes that absorb a much broader spectrum of light are not applicable due to their short-lived excited states. Here we describe a self-assembling catalyst system that overcomes this limitation. The modular approach combines nickel catalysis with dye-sensitized titanium dioxide and can be used to catalyze various bond formations. <br>

<p>Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has gained much attentions for the last few decades due to its remarkable performance in photocatalysis and some other related properties. However, its wide bandgap (~3.2 eV) can only absorb UV energy which is only ~5% of solar light spectrum. The objective of this research was to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by improving the optical absorption to the visible light range. Here, colored TiO2 nanoparticles range from light to dark grey were prepared via aluminium treatment at the temperatures ranging from 400 to 600 oC. The modified TiO2 is able to absorb up to 50% of visible light (400-700 nm) and shows a relatively good photocatalytic activity in organic dye (Rhodamine B) degradation under visible light irradiation compared with the commercial TiO2.

An ARS–TiO2 photocatalyst has been prepared, by a simple method through stirring a mixture of ARS and TiO2 at room temperature in the dark, to extend the photocatalytic response of titanium dioxide toward the visible light spectrum.
