    Organic dyes are one of attractive synthetic targets for material and biological fields in organic chemistry. Recently, organic dyes have been developed to be used as an efficient photosensitizer in photoredox catalysis, which can be applied to various types of photoredox reactions. Despite the promising properties of recently reported catalysts, these normally suffer from narrow absorption windows and the requirement of high-energy light sources (UV or blue light). Green light, on the other hand, is of lower energy (500~570 nm) than UV and blue light, which efficiently reduces energy costs and the risk of substrate/product damage and stress. In this account, our recent research on the design and synthesis of strongly oxidizing methoxy-functionalized thioxanthylium organic dyes, which absorb 400~600 nm in visible light region, is described. They can be applied to the photoredox reactions such as radical cation Diels-Alder reaction and oxa-[4+2] cycloaddition reactions under green light irradiation. The present catalysts provide a new green-light-driven photoredox catalytic system.

    There is a strong demand to further improve the energy density, rapid charging performance, long cycle performance and high safety of lithium-ion batteries for EV application. A further improvement in performance of electrolyte solutions, including lithium ion conductivity and high stability against oxidation and reduction, is required to fully elicit the electrode performance. Highly concentrated electrolyte solutions have been recently reported to offer multiple unique features. However, they are highly viscous and very costly due to an extensive use of lithium salts. These problems can be solved by diluting the highly concentrated electrolyte solutions with an appropriate diluent. There are still lots of things to be learned from a dilution technique for pigment dispersion.
