The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane and require a continuous supply of light energy. Chlorophylls absorb this light energy, which is converted into chemical energy through the formation of two compounds, ATP —an energy storage molecule—and NADPH —a reduced (electron-bearing) electron carrier. In this
Energy absorption refers to the process of dissipating the input energy from external loading (e.g., due to impact/collision in particular) by plastic deformation (e.g., for metals and polymers) or fracture (e.g., for ceramics and composites). The energy-absorption behavior of materials and structures plays a key role in the safety of

The actual step that converts light energy into chemical energy takes place in a multiprotein complex called a photosystem, two types of which are found embedded in the thylakoid membrane: photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) (). The two complexes differ on the basis of what they oxidize (that is, the source of the low-energy electron

Identifying new energy saving methods in the building sector is essential due to limited natural energy sources and the rising population. Thermal mass materials have the ability to absorb and store heat before releasing it later on when necessary. They act as heat sinks during the daytime and as heat sources during the nighttime.
Solid-liquid phase change materials (SL-PCMs) change their internal molecular arrangement from an ordered crystalline structure to a disordered amorphous one when temperature exceeds a critical threshold (i.e., the phase transition temperature). An increase in vibrational energy breaks the supramolecular bonds between individual
To realize a high energy efficiency for solar steam generation for practical applications, the light absorbing material as the key component should possess broadband light absorption while low thermal emmitance. The light absorption of the photothermal materials can be optimized in following ways: 1) Surface enhanced plasmonic absorption.
Near-infrared absorbing materials combine high visible light transparency with strong selective absorption against near-infrared light. For example, by applying it to window materials, the energy of near-infrared rays contained in sunlight is efficiently cut while maintaining sufficient brightness, resulting in an effect that greatly suppresses the

The empirical equation (equation (2.1), figure 2.3) implies that the probability of a photon being absorbed at any point is the same (much like first order kinetics), and the amount of the total absorption depends upon the the concentration of the sample, c, and the ''path length'', l. The amount of absorbance, A, is dependent upon the
