Biomimetic approach to solar energy conversion: artificial photosynthesis

Conference Katz, J J

Results of efforts to devise apparatus and systems for using solar energy for chemical purposes by methods that mimic those used by photosynthetic organisms are reported. Sufficient progress has been made in the understanding of plant photosynthesis to make artificial photosynthesis a reasonable goal. Artificial photoreaction centers, the apparatus used by photosynthetic organisms for light energy conversion to chemical oxidizing and reducing capacity, have been made in the laboratory. The synthetic reaction centers mimic with remarkable fidelity the properties of their in vivo prototypes. Some of the formidable problems that must still be solved and the future prospects for biomimeticmore »« less

Artificial photosynthesis. 1. Photosensitization of TiO[sub 2] solar cells with chlorophyll derivatives and related natural porphyrins

Journal Article Kay, A ; Graetzel, M - Journal of Physical Chemistry; (United States)

Colloidal TiO[sub 2] electrodes were photosensitized with derivatives of chlorophyll and related natural porphyrins resulting in light harvesting and charge separation efficiencies comparable to those in natural photosynthesis. The photocurrent action spectra of the electrodes correlate well with the absorption spectra of the dyes in solution. Incident photon to current efficiencies up to 83% are reached in the Soret peak at 400 nm with a 12-[mu]m-thick TiO[sub 2] film sensitized by copper mesoporphyrin IX, which corresponds to nearly unity quantum efficiency of charge separation when light reflection losses are taken into account. Photocurrent/voltage curves of TiO[sub 2] solar cells sensitizedmore »« less

Structural and mechanistic studies of natural and artificial photosynthesis

Conference Norris, J R ; Bowman, M K ; Thurnauer, M C ; ...

One approach to the utilization of solar energy is the development of devices that mimic natural photosynthesis. Such artificial photosynthesis efforts would be aided by a better understanding of the primary photochemical steps that occur in the natural process of photosynthesis. As a result our studies emphasize the mechanistic and structural details of natural photosynthesis that appear to be crucial to the design of artificial solar energy devices. At the same time molecules are synthesized to serve as biomimetic models of natural energy conversion molecules. The photophysics and photochemistry of these molecules are investigated with primary emphasis on light inducedmore »« less
Artificial Photosynthesis: Beyond Mimicking Nature

Journal Article Dau, Holger ; Fujita, Etsuko ; Sun, Licheng - ChemSusChem

In this Editorial, Guest Editors Holger Dau, Etsuko Fujita, and Licheng Sun introduce the Special Issue of ChemSusChem on “Artificial Photosynthesis for Sustainable Fuels”. Here, they discuss the need for non-fossil based fuels, introduce both biological and artificial photosynthesis, and outline various important concepts in artificial photosynthesis, including molecular and solid-state catalysts for water oxidation and hydrogen evolution, catalytic CO₂ reduction, and photoelectrochemical systems.

Interfacing nature’s catalytic machinery with synthetic materials for semi-artificial photosynthesis

Journal Article Kornienko, Nikolay ; Zhang, Jenny Z. ; Sakimoto, Kelsey K. ; ... - Nature Nanotechnology

Semi-artificial photosynthetic systems aim to overcome the limitations of natural and artificial photosynthesis while providing an opportunity to investigate their respective functionality. The progress and studies of these hybrid systems is the focus of this forward-looking perspective. Enzymes have been interfaced with synthetic materials and employed for semi-artificial fuel production. In parallel, we examine how more complex living cellular systems can be recruited for in vivo fuel and chemical production in an approach where inorganic nanostructures are hybridized with photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic microorganisms. Side-by-side comparisons reveal strengths and limitations of enzyme- and microorganism-based hybrid systems, and how lessons extracted frommore »« less
