Photosynthesis uses sunlight to oxidize or reduce reaction centres multiple times and prepare them for multiple-electron-transfer reactions. Now, it has been shown that a molecular proxy for a multiple-electron-transfer electrocatalyst can be oxidized twice by dye molecules when both are anchored to a mesoporous TiO2 thin film and excited with low-intensity visible light.

光合作用利用太阳光多次氧化或还原反应中心，并为多电子转移反应做好准备。现在，已经表明，当多电子转移电催化剂的分子代用品都锚定在中孔TiO2薄膜上并用低强度可见光激发时，它们可以被染料分子氧化两次。
