Fig. 4: CDs enhance photosynthesis via photosensitization and light conversion.
From: Closed-loop enhancement of plant photosynthesis via biomass-derived carbon dots in biohybrids
a Schematic of photoexcited electron transfer from CDs to PETC. The crosses indicate the blocking site of individual photosynthesis inhibitors. Fd ferredoxin, FNR ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase. b The glycerol production of CDs–Syne hybrids and Syne cells in the presence of photosynthesis inhibitors. c The Relative glycerol production by CDs–Syne hybrids compared to that by Syne cells in the presence of photosynthesis inhibitors. d Experimental set-up of simulated solar light irradiation by Xe lamp. e The glycerol production of CDs–Syne hybrids and Syne cells under simulated solar light irradiation and visible light irradiation. f Relative glycerol production by CDs–Syne hybrids compared to that by Syne cells under simulated solar light irradiation and visible light irradiation.
