Preface

Abstract

The prospect of sustainably generating fuels from sunlight via artificial photosynthesis has inspired scientists for decades. Over time, intensive research devoted to materials for catalysis and light harvesting provided a set of components individually optimized for specific steps of sunlight-to-fuel conversion, as well as a conceptual basis for understanding conversion mechanisms. These efforts also revealed critical gaps in properties of existing materials, in models of non-ideal function, and especially in our understanding of concerted processes occurring in integrated photosystems.
