Lecture Abstract

Chlorophyll in nature exists in both monomeric and molecularly aggregated states, and its efficient electron and energy transfer heavily depends on the properties of the surrounding proteins.

To elucidate the role of these proteins, our group has synthesized aggregated films of chlorophyll derivatives with various structures on conductive glass surfaces using electrochemical methods, constructed perovskite photovoltaics and supercapacitors, and evaluated their performance.

In this lecture, we will explain in detail how the molecular structures and aggregated structures of chlorophyll derivatives correlate with device performance.
