The integration of transition metals as catalysts has opened new avenues for organic synthesis, including the activation and formation of diverse bonds. The combination of metal catalysis with photochemistry or electrochemistry has demonstrated enhanced reaction selectivity and reduced reliance on chemical oxidants. By harnessing the potential of organic photo-electrocatalysis, which combines photocatalysis with electrocatalysis, a wide range of efficient, selective and sustainable synthetic transformations have been achieved. This review provides a comprehensive overview of metal catalysis in photo-electrochemical systems, discussing reaction mechanisms and offering prospects for this triadic catalytic mode.

释放金属的潜力：光和电的协同催化


过渡金属作为催化剂的整合为有机合成开辟了新的途径，包括各种键的活化和形成。金属催化与光化学或电化学的结合已证明可以提高反应选择性并减少对化学氧化剂的依赖。通过利用有机光电催化（将光催化与电催化相结合）的潜力，已经实现了广泛的高效、选择性和可持续的合成转化。这篇综述对光电化学系统中的金属催化进行了全面的概述，讨论了反应机制并为这种三元催化模式提供了前景。
