Unlocking the Potential of Supramolecular Synthesis for Carbon and Nitrogen-Based Photoelectrocatalysts
Scientists have made a breakthrough in a new type of photoelectrocatalyst synthesis. This new type of synthesis is based on highly carbon-nitrogen based materials and has the potential to revolutionize the field of solar energy harvesting. This new synthesis is known as supramolecular synthesis and involves the use of a special type of molecule with a high affinity for carbon-nitrogen based molecules. This molecule acts as a bridge between the carbon-nitrogen molecules and the photoelectrocatalyst material. This bridge helps to create a “supramolecular” structure that is more efficient at capturing and utilizing the energy from the sun. This new synthesis process could lead to higher efficiency solar cells and other applications in the field of energy harvesting.
