TY  - JOUR
AB  - The development of synthetic systems for the conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels is aresearch goal that continues to attract growing interest owing to its potential to provide renewable andstorable energy in the form of a ‘solar fuel’. Dye-sensitised photocatalysis (DSP) with molecular catalystsis a relatively new approach to convert sunlight into a fuel such as H2 and is based on the self-assemblyof a molecular dye and electrocatalyst on a semiconductor nanoparticle. DSP systems combineadvantages of both homogenous and heterogeneous photocatalysis, with the molecular componentsproviding an excellent platform for tuning activity and understanding performance at defined catalyticsites, whereas the semiconductor bridge ensures favourable multi-electron transfer kinetics betweenthe dye and the fuel-forming electrocatalyst. In this tutorial review, strategies and challenges for theassembly of functional molecular DSP systems and experimental techniques for their evaluation areexplained. Current understanding of the factors governing electron transfer across inorganic-molecularinterfaces is described and future directions and challenges for this field are outlined.
