Interfacial photoelectrochemistry at photoanodes has been extensively researched for solar energy conversion, but its application the production of high-value-added chemical compounds in organic chemistry still presents challenges. Herein, we report photoelectrocatalytic Cl-mediated C(sp3)–H aminomethylation alkanes with self-developed and reusable BiVO4 photoanodes. The swift condensation aniline aldehydes, along decrease electricity input by photogenerated holes photoanodes, work together to prevent excessive oxidation aniline, leading high yields desired product. Mechanistic experiments demonstrate that Cl- ions, as key mediators, could be attracted oxidized form Cl2. This is followed light-promoted homolytic cleavage Cl2, generating Cl radicals efficiently abstract hydrogen atoms from hydrocarbons. opens an avenue interfacial photoelectrochemical synthesis demonstrates a potential method optimizing conversion into fuels. A stable recyclable photoelectrode material was developed efficient hydrocarbons cell, which provides promising fuel conversion.
