讲座安排：
报告（一）
题目：Dye-Sensitized Water Oxidation: The UNC EFRC for Solar Fuels
时间：7月25日（星期三）上午10:00-11:30
地点：明德楼 C908
报告摘要：
There exists a critical need to identify materials that can be utilized to convert sun light into a sustainable energy source. A molecular approach utilizes dyes to sensitize wide bandgap semiconductor nanocrystallites interconnected in mesoporous thin films to visible light. Such dye-sensitized nanostructures provide electrical power generation and/or solar fuels through water splitting when utilized in photoelectrochemical cells. This presentation provides an overview with recent highlights of University of North Carolina Energy Frontier Research Center (UNC EFRC) results directed toward water oxidation and carbon dioxide reduction.

题目：Molecular Excited States for Solar Energy Conversion: Applications to Hydrohalic Acid Splitting
时间：7月26日（星期四）上午10:00-11:30
地点：明德楼 C908
报告摘要：
Photochemistry with solar photons that drives hydrohalic acid splitting into the halogen and hydrogen gas represents an important goal, Equation 1:
2 HX + 2 hv à H2 + X2 X = Cl, Br, I (1)
Photochemistry initiated by molecular excited states provides the opportunity to characterize one-electron transfer halide chemistry that are not otherwise easily obtained. In this presentation, our recent studies of dye-sensitized halide sensing, release, and redox chemistry will be highlighted with emphasis on halide coordination and redox chemistry that has relevance that extends beyond solar energy conversion to sensing, biology, and medicine.
报告（三）
题目：Dye-Sensitized Energy Conversion: Increased Electronic Coupling Lowers the Free Energy Change that Accompanies Electron Transfer
时间：7月27日（星期五）上午10:00-11:30
地点：明德楼 C908
报告摘要：
Electron transfer theories predict that an increase in the quantum mechanical mixing (HDA) of electron donor and acceptor wavefunctions at the instant of electron transfer drives equilibrium constants toward unity. Kinetic and equilibrium studies of acceptor-bridge-donor (A-B-D) sensitizers anchored to TiO2 thin films provide experimental validation of this prediction and new insights into the mechanisms for dye-sensitized energy conversion.
