IISER develops Artificial Photosynthetic systems for Solar energy capture

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 28 (UNI) Researchers from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Thiruvananthapuram and IIT Indore have studied and developed a new artificial light-harvesting system that can efficiently capture light for power conversion by mimicking photosynthesis, the process by which plants absorb sunlight and produce sugars.
The results of this study have been published in the journal of the prestigious Royal Chemical Society – Chemical Science. The paper has been co-authored by IISER TVM researchers Dr. Sukhendu Mandal, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry along with his research scholars Dr. Sourav Biswas and Mr. Anish Kumar Das, and IIT Indore researchers – Prof. Biswarup Pathak, Department of Chemistry, IIT Indore, along with this research scholar Mr. Surya Sekhar Manna, a press release said on Monday.
All over the world, scientists are trying to replicate the light-harvesting step of photosynthesis in engineered systems for use in solar cells or artificial leaves. The light-harvesting cores in plants and other photosynthetic bacteria are chromophores, molecules that absorb visible light and pass it on to other components that use the energy for various chemical reactions.
