Assembly of Artificial Light‐Harvesting Systems Based on Supramolecular Self‐Assembly Metallogels

Abstract

We have designed and constructed two artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs), which are based on the supramolecular self-assembly of acylhydrazone functionalized quinoline (L), Al 3 + and fluorescent dyes. The L-Al 3 + supramolecular assembly distinctly improved aggregation-induced emission enhancement and served as a donor for ALHSs. Acridine yellow and acridine orange were found to be good acceptors to realize the energy transfer process with good efficiency.

“…With the gradually increasing demand for energy and the massive consumption of conventional fossil fuels, the development of clean and sustainable energy resources has become increasingly important . As a solution to the energy crisis, we need to seek sustainable alternative energy sources. , As a form of clean and sustainable energy, solar energy has been attracting significant interest from the science and technology research community . To date, an increasing number of fields related to solar energy have emerged, including solar cell engineering, , photocatalysis, , luminescence chemistry, − bio-imaging, , and photodynamic therapy. − Additionally, through continuous observation and research, it has been established that plants capture, transfer, and store sunlight as chemical energy through photosynthesis.…”
