Nanocrystals store light energy and drive chemical reactions

1 credit Chemistry is increasingly using the trick that plants can do with photosynthesis: causing chemical reactions that work poorly or don’t happen spontaneously at all with light energy. This requires appropriate photocatalysts that capture light energy and make it available for reaction. In the review applied chemistry, a Chinese research team has just introduced …
