Fig. 5: The study of electron transfer between PS and TQ.

a The emission spectra change of PS1 (10 μM) with increasing concentrations of TQ (0–30 mM) under excitation at 405 nm in DMF. b Stern–Volmer plot of fluorescence intensity change of PS1 against TQ in DMF. c Fluorescence decay curves of PS1 and TQ/PS1 at a peak of 670 nm. d Photocurrent responses of PS1, TQ, and TQ/PS1 systems. e HOMO and LUMO energy levels of CA, PS1, and TQ. f Simulated electrostatic potential map of TQ/PS1.
