To address these challenges, the Molecular and Nanoscale Interfaces Project aims to couple light absorbers, catalysts, and half - reactions
for optimal control of the
rate, yield, and energetics of electron and proton
flow at the nanoscale, so that complete macroscale artificial photosynthetic systems can achieve maximum conversion of solar photon energy into the chemical energy of a
fuel.
