Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis covers the recent cutting-edge investigations in the field of visible light-driven organic synthesis in a single comprehensive volume. It provides information on rigorously selected reaction schemes and covers new reactions and new methods under visible light photocatalysis. It enlists about 200 important synthetic strategies/methodologies with particular emphasis on useful reactions for organic synthesis under the mild reaction conditions reported in recent times involving carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions resulting in a wide spectrum of chemical compounds, providing an outstanding source of information concerning industrial applications.The chapters are classified based on various photocatalysts that have found direct applications in organic synthesis by carrying out different kinds of organic reactions. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular photocatalyst, and each selected reaction is dealt with in a compact manner through point-wise discussion under distinct sub-headings covering the reaction type, reaction conditions, bond-forming information reaction strategy involved, general reaction scheme, examples of representative entries with chemical structures and physical properties, a suggested plausible mechanism, experimental procedure, spectral and analytical data of one or two representative entries, critical views, and literature.

Electrochemical Potassium Storage: Principles, Materials, and Technological Development explores a variety of battery technologies based on electrochemical potassium storage. The book covers the principles of potassium-ion batteries (organic and aqueous electrolytes), potassium metal anode batteries, potassium-sulfur (selenium) batteries, and potassium-oxygen batteries, as well as the development of electrode materials and battery cells.Batteries using potassium ions as the charge carrier to store energy operate via different electrochemical mechanisms than lithium-based batteries and thus exhibit different performance strengths, potentially leading to diverse market applications. This is particularly important as we search for environmentally and economically sustainable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
