Light-Induced Electron Transfer and Energy Transfer in Thin Polymer Films and Zeolites
Abstract
dc:descriptionLight-induced electron transfer and energy transfer reactions are essential to the collection and storage of light in photosynthesis. The purpose of this work is to better understand both types of reactions, to develop the means to better control them, and to make them more efficient. Electron transfer reactions between neutral species produce ion pairs. If these ions could be separated from each other to prevent immediate recombination, they might be used to drive other useful reactions. Two media, thin polymer films and zeolites, which showed promise in maintaining charge separation, were used in this study.
