photosensitizers Norberto/Alvaro
Artificial photosynthesis Applications by Alvaro, norberto Photosensitizers are molecules that can be activated by light in order to generate ROS that can damage cell structures from microorganisms or from diseased mammalian cells leading to death. Ideally, photosensitizers should be relatively easy to synthesis as a single pure compound, have low levels of cytotoxicity in the dark, and have no physiological side effects (such as hypotension or hypersensitivity). Moreover, photosensitizers that are activated by longer wavelengths of light, especially in the red and far red, can be of red light into tissues is higher and there is less skin photosensitivity in this region of the spectrum. The main benefit of artificial photosynthesisi is to produce a hydrogen fuel that will be energy efficient and carbon neutral. It will be a renewable source of energy which can be used for transportation. It will not add any green house gasses into the atmosphere. Artific
