Although photosynthesis underpins life on earth, photochemical technologies are yet to make an impact on our modern lives. Meanwhile photovoltaics is a mature and successful industry that shares a common theme with photochemistry – both rely on energetic electrons and holes; in the former to generate electrical power and in…
