Enhancing solar energy conversion efficiency is very important for developing renewable energy, protecting the environment, and producing agricultural products. Efficient enhancement of photophosphorylation is demonstrated by coupling artificial photoacid generators (PAGs) with chloroplasts. The encapsulation of small molecular long-lived PAGs in the thylakoid lumen is improved greatly by ultrasonication. Under visible-light irradiation, a fast intramolecular photoreaction of the PAG occurs and produces many protons, remarkably enhancing the proton gradient inâ
situ. Consequently, compared to pure chloroplasts, the assembled natural-artificial hybrid demonstrates approximately 3.9 times greater adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. This work will provide new opportunities for constructing enhanced solar energy conversion systems.
