Abstract

Solar energy is clean, abundant, and more importantly, renewable. As such, any reaction that efficiently harvests and converts solar energy into chemical energy is more important than ever as the world turns to its scientists to meet the challenge of environmental sustainability. Visible light (390–750nm) accounts for 43% of the overall solar spectrum. However, many organic molecules are unable to absorb visible light efficiently, thereby ...
