Decomposition of hydrazine by an organic fullerene-phthalocyanine p-n bilayer photocatalysis system over the entire visible-light region.

An organic p-n bilayer photocatalysis system successfully induced the oxidative decomposition of hydrazine (N2H4) into N2 and simultaneously yielded H2 from H(+). This demonstrates the first instance of the stoichiometric decomposition of N2H4 under visible-light irradiation.
