Synthetic Photoelectrochemistry

Upconversion-powered photoelectrochemistry.

Upconversion photochemistry occurring between palladium(II) octaethylporphyrin (PdOEP, 1) and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA, 2) in toluene successfully sensitizes nanostructured WO(3) photoanodes (E(g) = 2.7 eV) to sub-bandgap non-coherent green photons at low power density.

First-Principles View on Photoelectrochemistry: Water-Splitting as Case Study

Photoelectrochemistry is truly an interdisciplinary field; a natural nexus between chemistry and physics. In short, photoelectrochemistry can be divided into three sub-processes, namely (i) the creation of electron-hole pairs by light absorption; (ii) separation/transport on the charge carriers and finally (iii) the water splitting reaction. The challenge is to understand all three processes on...

Protein film photoelectrochemistry of the water oxidation enzyme photosystem II.

Photosynthesis is responsible for the sunlight-powered conversion of carbon dioxide and water into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates and the release of O2 as a by-product. Although many proteins are involved in photosynthesis, the fascinating machinery of Photosystem II (PSII) is at the heart of this process. This tutorial review describes an emerging technique named protein film pho...
