Harvesting energy from light sources, including our sun, can provide a significant fraction of the world's energy need over the next century. In order to meet this critical demand, it is crucial to devise ways to transform light energy into chemical fuels. This project aims to create novel nanostructures that directly couple light energy into chemical reactions. This will be achieved by the creation of metallic nanoparticles that can transform light energy into hot electrons: entities that can efficiently drive the production of chemical fuels in a process similar to that of photosynthesis.

从包括太阳在内的各种光源中获取能量，可以满足下一个世纪世界能源需求的很大一部分。为了满足这一关键需求，设计将光能转化为化学燃料的方法至关重要。该项目旨在创造新的纳米结构，直接将光能耦合到化学反应中。这将通过创造可以将光能转化为热电子的金属纳米粒子来实现：这些实体可以在类似于光合作用的过程中有效地驱动化学燃料的生产。
