Photocatalysis Technology Platform

Platform Capacities

Our platform is dedicated to the development and expansion of advanced, efficient, and eco-friendly photocatalytic synthesis and production technologies for pharmaceuticals.

• We specialize in a variety of light sources for photocatalysis, including blue light, white light, UV light, and mercury lamps photocatalysis.
• And, our expertise spans across a wide range of photocatalytic reactions such as catalytic hydroamination, silicon-based radical activation of alkyl halides in metal photoredox catalysis, functionalization in triple catalysis cross-coupling, etc.
• Moreover, our platform designed various proprietary catalysts specifically for photocatalytic reactions. These catalysts are optimized for high performance and can also be tailored to meet the specific needs of different reactions.
• Most importantly, we combine photocatalysis with continuous flow chemistry. This combination allows us to perform continuous photocatalytic reactions, significantly enhancing production efficiency and scalability. At present, we have successfully scaled up the photocatalytic production of pharmaceutical intermediates from gram-level batches to kilogram and even hundreds of kilograms, meeting industrial demands.
