Chemistry professor Prashant Jain led a study that uses solar energy to power a key chemical reaction that drives many manufacturing industries. This new method can significantly reduce the energy required to run these operations, eliminate harsh oxidizing byproducts and minimize carbon emissions.
Light-assisted electrochemistry replaces harsh peroxides with water, offering a lower-carbon path for industrial oxidation.
