Assistant Professor Henrik Sundén and his team, Linda Ta and Anton Axelsson, at the Chemistry and Biochemistry division, at Chalmers, shows how it is possible to change complex and ineffective oxidants for oxygen. This way a number of carbon-based molecules, for instance two active ingredients in sunscreen, can be produced. The results are published in the next edition of the journal Green Chemistry.
