Electrospray pyrolysis as an effective way to synthesis porous photoelectrodes to drive useful organic reactions Ayman Mohammed and Richard Douthwaite University of York, UK Utilisation of solar radiation in semiconductor-mediated photocatalysis represents a viable route to many valuable synthetic transformations, including C-C bond formation. However, the selectivity and yields of these reactions are limited by electron-hole recombination, slow interfacial charge transfer and surface chemistry. Consequently, synthesis of porous electrodes is a key to achieve a good performance. Among all the methods, electrospray pyrolysis appears as an effective route to fabricate porous electrodes. In this work, metal oxides based photoelectrodes are synthesised by Electrospray pyrolysis and their application in C-C coupling is investigated. References 1. Chavhan MP, Sethi SR, Ganguly S.
