Chemistry for Harvesting Sunlight
Researchers reported advances in molecular systems for efficient solar energy conversion and storage at the recent American Chemical Society meeting in Boston (Massachusetts, U.S.A.).
(Top) A titanium-oxide solar cell with a manganese-based photosensitizer oxidizes isopropanol to create oxygen, electrons and hydrogen ions. (Bottom) These are recombined with a platinum catalyst.
Researchers reported advances in molecular systems for efficient solar energy conversion and storage at the recent American Chemical Society meeting in Boston (Massachusetts, U.S.A.). Session organizers Victor Batista and Charles Schmuttenmaer from Yale University said, "The world leaders in this field are here."
