Resumen

Los investigadores desarrollaron un nuevo colorante orgánico soluble en agua, 4P-DPAIPN, para una fotorreducción eficiente de dióxido de carbono (CO2). Este sistema libre de metales nobles logra rendimientos cuánticos y selectividad récord para la conversión de CO2 a CO en soluciones acuosas.

The Z-Scheme of Electron Transport in Photosynthesis

The light reactions of photosynthesis assume a linear flow of electrons from water to NADP+. During this process, light energy drives the splitting of water molecules to produce oxygen. However, oxidation of water molecules is a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction and requires a strong oxidizing agent. This is accomplished by the first product of light reactions: oxidized P680 (or P680+), the most powerful oxidizing agent known in biology. The oxidized P680 that acquires an electron from the...
