Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, artificial light harvesting systems to absorb sunlight efficiently was investigated. Nanosheet such as clay minerals and functional materials such as porphyrin were used as host materials and guest dye molecules. Saponite was used as typical synthetic clay minerals. By combing more than two dyes, efficient light harvesting systems were successfully constructed. In addition, new methodology to evaluate light harvesting performance was proposed. Like these, the clue to construct artificial photosynthesis was obtained.
