Artificial photosynthesis: biomimetic approaches to solar energy conversion and storage.
Using sun as the energy source, natural photosynthesis carries out a number of useful reactions such as oxidation of water to molecular oxygen and fixation of CO(2) in the form of sugars. These are achieved through a series of light-induced multi-electron-transfer reactions involving chlorophylls in a special arrangement and several other species including specific enzymes. Artificial photosynt...
متن کاملMolecular approaches to solar energy conversion: the energetic cost of charge separation from molecular-excited states.
This review starts with a brief overview of the technological potential of molecular-based solar cell technologies. It then goes on to focus on the core scientific challenge associated with using molecular light-absorbing materials for solar energy conversion, namely the separation of short-lived, molecular-excited states into sufficiently long-lived, energetic, separated charges capable of gen...
متن کاملEnergy Conversion in Photosynthesis: A Paradigm for Solar Fuel Production
Solar energy has the capacity to fulfill global human energy demands in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, provided efficient, low-cost systems can be developed for its capture, conversion, and storage. Toward these ends, a molecular-based understanding of the fundamental principles and mechanistic details of energy conversion in photosynthesis is indispensable. This review add...
متن کاملQuantum Coherence in Photosynthesis for Efficient Solar Energy Conversion
The crucial step in the conversion of solar to chemical energy in Photosynthesis takes place in the reaction center where the absorbed excitation energy is converted into a stable charge separated state by ultrafast electron transfer events. However, the fundamental mechanism responsible for the near unity quantum efficiency of this process is unknown. Here we elucidate the role of coherence in...
متن کاملNew Approaches to Practical High-Effective Solar Energy Conversion
High-effective solar energy conversion is impossible without deep examination of solar cell’components as physical materials. Studies of structure of matter, its optical and thermo‐ dynamic properties belong to the scope of several disciplines. The concept of generalized formula units is of particular importance. For example, a category of crystal lattice is the result of crystal’s mathematical...
