Abstract
Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis have proven to be powerful strategies for molecular synthesis. Recently, methods that combine the power of light and electricity within a single catalyst have been reported. This area, termed electrophotocatalysis, offers new opportunities to promote challenging transformations. This chapter covers recent work in this area and demonstrates some of the possibilities offered by these approaches for rapidly constructing complex structures through the merger of electrochemical and photochemical energy.
