Photoredox catalysis has emerged as an efficient and versatile approach for developing novel synthetic methodologies. Particularly, red light photocatalysis has attracted more attention due to its intrinsic advantages of low energy, few health risks, few side reactions, and high penetration depth through various media. Impressive progress has been made in this field. In this review, we outline the applications of different photoredox catalysts in a wide range of red light-mediated reactions including direct red light photoredox catalysis, red light photoredox catalysis through upconversion, and dual red light photoredox catalysis. Due to the similarities between near-infrared (NIR) and red light, an overview of NIR-induced reactions is also presented. Lastly, current evidence showing the advantages of red light and NIR photoredox catalysis is also described.
光氧化还原催化已成为开发新型合成方法的一种高效且通用的方法。特别是，红光光催化因其具有低能量、健康风险小、副反应少以及在各种介质中穿透深度高的固有优势而受到更多关注。该领域已取得了令人瞩目的进展。在本综述中，我们概述了不同光氧化还原催化剂在广泛的红光介导反应中的应用，包括直接红光光氧化还原催化、通过上转换的红光光氧化还原催化以及双红光光氧化还原催化。由于近红外（NIR）光与红光之间存在相似性，本文还对近红外光诱导的反应进行了概述。最后，还描述了目前显示红光和近红外光光氧化还原催化优势的证据。
