Two articles from the ARCCFN's PartCat group made it to the "TOP MOST READ ARTICLES" in 2012 for Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. The first article entitled "Reducing Graphene Oxide on a Visible Light BiVO4 Photocatalyst for an Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting" was first to report the visible light active conducting photocatalyst effective in reducing graphene oxide to graphene, where the composites gave significant enhanced photocurrent. This paper is highly cited and has been highlighted as 'HOT PAPER' by the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. The second article entitled "Progress in Heterogeneous Photocatalysis: From Classical Radical Chemistry to Engineering Nanomaterials and Solar Reactors" is a review article provides contemporary views on heterogeneous photochemical conversion, encompassing charge transport characteristics, radical chemistry and organic degradation mechanisms, photocatalyst design, and photoreactor engineering. A list of all publications from the PartCat group can be found here |

Congratulations to the many centre members and associates who were successful in receiving funding in the 2012 round of ARC Discovery Projects. Funding was given to centre projects examining materials for solar energy technologies, clean water technlogies, biodiagnostics, thermoelectricity, and catalytic conversion technolgies. |

Combining semiconductor photocatalysts with carbon nanostructures has been extensively investigated due to their enhanced photochemical conversion activity. While many nanocomposite synthesis methods have been reported, the emerging use of photocatalytic reactions in synthesizing these carbon-based semiconductor composites and even pure carbon nanomaterials is increasingly capturing the attention of the research community. |
