Hydrogen as a clean fuel will play a critical role in the future energy landscape. The hydrogen production reaction of electrolytic water only produces hydrogen and oxygen, which has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, environmental friendliness and good safety. The oxygen evolution reaction is a key ratecontrolled reaction step in hydrogen production from electrolytic water. A simple Pt loaded Li ₂Co ₂O ₄ synthesis method was introduced and its oxygen evolution performance was characterized. The effects of different Pt loading (mass fraction) on the electrocatalytic performance were compared, and the optimum Pt loading was obtained when the Pt loading was 5%. The structure of the material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that a highly efficient catalyst capable of reducing the Pt consumption while maintaining the activity and durability of the catalyst is obtained.

3-Methoxythioxanthone was synthesized, and the structure is identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and HRMS spectra. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of 3-Methoxythioxanthone shows that it absorbs near the purple light (380 nm) in the visible range and is a visible light photosensitizer. 3-Methoxythioxanthone was applied to the Aza-Henry reaction of 2-phenyl-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline and Nitromethane. Under the irradiation of purple LED, the photosensitizer with a molar fraction of 5% allowed the reaction to be isolated in a yield of 84% within 6 h. According to the experimental results, the mechanism of photocatalytic reaction of AzaHenry was proposed. The photosensitizer could transfer energy to produce singlet oxygen under the illumination, and singlet oxygen promoted the Aza-Henry reaction.
