Tuning Excited-State Energy Transfer for Light Energy Conversion: A Virtual Issue

Abstract

Nature has been at the forefront of optimizing efficient light energy conversion and energy transduction models in the photosynthetic complex. Inspired by nature, underpinning mechanistic aspects of excited-state energy-transfer processes in assemblies of chromophoric systems, perovskites, and semiconductor materials are of great interest in energy research. However, a comprehensive understanding of the excited-state energy transfer is quintessential for practical implications in photovoltaics and solar fuel generation, which may meet the world’s rising energy need. This virtual issue is a collection of recent research on excited-state energy transfer for light energy conversion published in ACS Energy Letters.
