Title: Photophysics and photoredox processes at polymer-water interfaces. Final technical report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/665936· OSTI ID:665936

The transduction of light into chemical potential has been actively studies via a variety of mechanisms. Perhaps the most actively pursued approach is via photoredox chemistry. In this project, the authors have used hydrophobic polymer-water interfaces to investigate mechanisms. The paper discusses results on the effect of adsorbing polymers onto latex particles and the use of diblock amphiphilic polymers with interfacial chromophores. It then evaluates the project from the point of view of solar energy conversion.
