Abstract
- The last few decades have seen an impressive development in molecular-based artificial photosynthesis, thanks to the design of integrated light-harvesting antennae, charge separation systems, and catalysts for water oxidation or hydrogen production based on covalently linked subunits. However, in recent years, self-assembly and spontaneous aggregation of components emerged - sometimes also through serendipity - for the preparation of multicomponent systems aimed to perform the basic processes needed for artificial photosynthesis. Here we critically discuss some key articles that have recently shown the potential of self-assembly for artificial photosynthesis, ranging from self-assembly of antennae and charge separation systems to integrated antenna/catalyst assemblies, to planned co-localization of various components into restricted environments. It is evident that self-assembly can generate emerging properties with respect to the non-aggregated species, and such emerging properties can be quite convenient for designing efficient photocatalytic systems.
