Abstract Natural photosynthesis is the primary route that supplies energy required for the endurance of all living things. The initial step in this process is the absorption of solar light by an organic-inorganic molecular organization called a light harvesting complex. This complicated natural solar energy conversion platform has inspired scientists to create artificial counter parts. As a means to achieve this, a self-assembled light harvesting carbon nitride/cobalt tetra-phenyl-porphyrin (CN/Co(III)TPP) material as a highly selective solar light active photocatalyst has been developed. The system exhibited excellent NADH regeneration (87.87%) and L-glutamate (94.30%) production under visible light irradiation. The current research endeavor highlights the development and application of a self-assembled CN/Co(III)TPP photocatalyst for the selective production of L-glutamate from α-ketoglutarate.

用于模拟自然光合作用的自组装氮化碳/钴 (III) 卟啉光催化剂

摘要 自然光合作用是为所有生物提供耐力所需能量的主要途径。该过程的第一步是由称为光收集复合物的有机-无机分子组织吸收太阳光。这个复杂的自然太阳能转换平台激发了科学家们创造人造反部件的灵感。作为实现这一目标的一种手段，已经开发出一种自组装的光捕获氮化碳/钴四苯基卟啉（CN/Co(III)TPP）材料作为一种高选择性的太阳光活性光催化剂。该系统在可见光照射下表现出优异的 NADH 再生 (87.87%) 和 L-谷氨酸 (94.30%) 生成。
