Light-Harvesting Complex: Rings of light
The atomic structure of the bacterial light-harvesting complex helps to explain how the energy of sunlight is efficiently absorbed and transferred between bacteriochlorophyll molecules towards the reaction centre.
متن کاملLight Harvesting for Organic Photovoltaics
The field of organic photovoltaics has developed rapidly over the last 2 decades, and small solar cells with power conversion efficiencies of 13% have been demonstrated. Light absorbed in the organic layers forms tightly bound excitons that are split into free electrons and holes using heterojunctions of electron donor and acceptor materials, which are then extracted at electrodes to give usefu...

‡Current address: University of Washington, School of Oceanography, Box 357940, Seattle, WA 98195-7940, USA. †Co first authors. Approximately one-half of the total primary production on Earth occurs in the oceans [1]. Although hundreds of species contribute to oceanic productivity, members of two cyanobacterial genera – Prochlorococcus [2,3] and Synechococcus [4] – are responsible for a signifi...
متن کاملZn-containing porphyrin as a biomimetic light-harvesting molecule for biocatalyzed artificial photosynthesis.
Among the porphyrin molecules with different metal insertion sites and functional ligands, Zn-porphyrin most efficiently regenerates NADH through photo-induced electron transfer in the presence of [Cp*Rh(bpy)H(2)O](2+), a rhodium-based electron mediator. Photochemical regeneration of NADH by Zn-porphyrin is successfully coupled with redox enzymatic synthesis under dark state conditions.
متن کاملEmergent Models for Artificial Light-Harvesting
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy conversion is one of the most promising emerging renewable energy technologies and is likely to play an ever-increasing role in the future of electricity generation. The potential of photovoltaics is considered to be much larger than the current energy demand, which is equivalent to ≈13,000 millions tons of oil (BP, 2014). Together with...
