Artificial light-harvesting systems based on the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism

One of the major global challenges lies in the efficient utilization of solar energy. Natural organisms primarily rely on photosynthesis to capture solar energy and store it as chemical energy, with light harvesting as a primary step. In natural light-harvesting systems, pigments...

Biotin‐Engineered Phenothiazine Photosensitizer Boosts Type I Photodynamic Therapy via Singlet‐Excited‐State Electron Transfer

Comprehensive Summary Type II‐dominant photosensitizers often suffer from reduced photodynamic efficacy under tumor hypoxia. We report a biotin‐modified phenothiazine photosensitizer termed DHU‐Blue‐7, which converts type II methylene blue (MB)‐like photosensitization into a type...
