This project aims to explore the effect of shape and size of pi-conjugated molecules on interfacial electron transfer reactions, which are fundamentally important in all applications of photo-electrochemical conversion and storage of energy. By making two series of pi-conjugated molecules and determining electron transfer rates using a combination of transient spectroscopies and computational chemistry, the project expects to generate new design principles for molecules with the potential to significantly improve the efficiencies of solar energy conversion and photo-catalytic processes. The new materials and findings will be exploited in a novel redox-mediated water splitting device as a practical outcome with potential end user benefits.

本项目旨在探索pi共轭分子的形状和大小对界面电子转移反应的影响，这在光电转换和能量存储的所有应用中都是至关重要的。通过制造两个系列的圆周率共轭分子，并使用瞬变光谱和计算化学相结合的方法来确定电子转移速率，该项目有望产生新的分子设计原理，有可能显著提高太阳能转换和光催化过程的效率。新材料和新发现将被用于一种新型的氧化还原介导型水分离装置，作为一项具有潜在最终用户利益的实用成果。
