Spectral and Electrochemical Properties of Common Photocatalysts in Water: A Compendium for Aqueous Photoredox Catalysis.

Because all these parameters rarely coincide, and each variable can drastically alter the working redox potentials of the photocatalyst, [10] researchers are not able to directly compare the photocatalysts and rationally select the most appropriate one for their desired aqueous transformation.

Thus, when using any photocatalyst in water, it is important to consider the functional groups, namely, ionizable groups and hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, that can augment the photochemical properties, including redox potentials, of the photocatalyst.
