The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-
absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent …

Capturing and converting solar energy into fuels and feedstocks is a global challenge that
spans numerous disciplines and fields of research. Billions of years of evolution have …

Over the past few decades, coherent broadband spectroscopy has been widely used to
improve our understanding of ultrafast processes (eg, photoinduced electron transfer, proton …

Absorption of light by a molecule (donor, D) generates an excited state, which may
subsequently transfer the excitation to another chromophore (acceptor, A) in the vicinity …

Abstract Analysis of plant behavior under diverse environmental conditions would be
impossible without the methods for adequate assessment of the processes occurring in …

Solar fuel production often starts with the energy from light being absorbed by an assembly
of molecules; this electronic excitation is subsequently transferred to a suitable acceptor. For …

Striving for new solar fuels, the water oxidation reaction currently is considered to be a
bottleneck, hampering progress in the development of applicable technologies for the …
