Recently, it was reported that loading small amount of platinum onto tungsten(VI) oxide enhances the visible-light photocatalytic activity significantly and this is caused by the catalytic action of platinum to induce multiple-electron transfer to oxygen 44). Reactions of two and four-electron transfer processes are as follows (potential in parentheses is standard electrode potential versus standard hydrogen electrode at pH 0). 

A new series of nickel complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene-amine ligands have been recently prepared, exhibiting high activity for the visible-light photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO, in the presence of [Ir(ppy)3] (where ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) and an electron donor (TON = 98 000). High selectivity was also observed over the competing proton-to-hydrogen reduction. ...

Wu et al. (1999b) reported that the intercalated Fe Oj showed photocatalytic activity of evolution from a CH OH-HjO solution by transfer of the photoelectron from Fe Oj to the host layered compound, which decreased the recombination of electrons and holes under visible light irradiation. However, it was found in this work that hydrogen evolution under visible light was not due to photocatalytic decomposition of water (Wu et al., 1999b).
