Abstract

In the past few years, due to the continued aggravation of the energy crisis, much scientific activity has been directed towards the search for new alternative energy sources. In this regard, there is heightened interest in sunlight as a source of energy, and the most valuable prospects for practical solar energy conversion might be based on the photosynthetic model, since photosynthesis is an extremely effective means whereby nature captures solar energy, converts it into separated charges, and stores it in useful chemical form.
