Hydroquinone redox mediator enhances the photovoltaic performance of chlorophyll-based bio-inspired solar cells
Excited state dynamics of chlorophyll derivatives applied in bio-solar cells are not fully understood. Here, time-resolved absorption study on these derivatives reveal enhanced lifetimes of radical species in the presence of hydroquinone would further enhance the corresponding device performance.
Observing atomic movements of a roaming reaction
Roaming is a reaction mechanism generating molecular products via wondering motions. The atomic movements during the roaming have never been directly observed. Here, we explore the atomic movements of a roaming-mediate isomerization using femtosecond X-ray liquidography.
