The rational design of molecular photosystems is a challenge of paramount scientific, industrial, and societal importance. Computational research has the potential to contribute in this area by allowing for detailed investigations of biological photosystems, by revealing key insights into fundamental photochemical processes, and by allowing for fast and inexpensive screening of candidate photosystems. However, major theoretical obstacles currently hinder the reliable and efficient computational modeling of photocatalytic processes. We are developing new methods that overcome the intrinsic challenges of simulating and understanding the dynamics of processes that are central to solar photocatalysis and basic energy science, including proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) dynamics. Furthermore, we are using these new methods to elucidate the fundamental chemical processes at the heart of the photocatalytic water splitting, which will yield fundamental insights into natural photosynthesis, as well as new strategies for the design of biomimetic photocatalysts.
