Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

“Anything that exists must be possible.” is often referred to as KE Boulding's First Law. 1 For
example, nanoscale photonic devices exist that harvest light and convert it to …

The present review highlights the recent progresses in the preparation of supramolecular,
donor–acceptor (D–A) porphyrin (Por)-and phthalocyanine (Pc)/carbon nanostructure …

Since the three-dimensional electron-accepting fullerene has been found to be an excellent
building block for self-assembled supramolecular systems, we have investigated …

Various molecular and supramolecular systems have been synthesized and characterized
recently to mimic the functions of photosynthesis, in which solar energy conversion is …

The development of dendrimer porphyrins has been inspired and prompted by many
interesting functions of porphyrin derivatives in biological systems. Natural porphyrin …

Photostability is considered a key asset for photosensitizers (PS) used in medical
applications as well as for those used in energy conversion devices. In light-mediated …

In recent years, application of calculated density functional theory Kohn–Sham (DFT-KS)
orbitals and eigenvalues have gained increased popularity due to their ability to display and …

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are among the most widely produced and used
nanomaterial due to their antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, allowing a wide range of …

Photosensitized electron-transfer processes of fullerenes hybridized with electron donating
or other electron accepting molecules have been surveyed in this review on the basis of the …
