DNA-Based Supramolecular Artificial Light Harvesting Complexes

摘要

Successful design and synthesis of inexpensive, high efficiency, robust, artificial light harvesting complexes are essential for efficient collection, capture, and conversion of solar energy, which is a major renewable form of green energy.Solar energy is distributed over a wide range of wavelengths, received on this planet at low energy densities, and efficient harvesting of solar energy continues to be a grand challenge. Solar-derived energy continues to be expensive, and efficient light harvesting technologies have a high potential to reduce the cost and make the technology economically viable.
