摘要
We construct a natural-artificial hybrid architecture containing black phosphorus nanosheets(BPNS)to enhance photosynthesis of chloroplast in a positive-feedback manner.In this architecture,oxygen yielded by photosynthesis during water splitting by photosystemⅡpromotes the photoreaction of BPNS to produce proton and inorganic phosphate(Pi).Further,transmembrane proton gradient is increased to drive ATP synthase to synthesize ATP.Meanwhile,additional photogenerated electrons produced by BPNS are transferred to the photosynthesis process.As a consequence,photosynthesis performed by chloroplast is improved.Quantitatively,photophosphorylation efficacy of the hybrid system is increased by 1.89 times in the case of Pi deficiency.This work offers a new path to enhance solar-to-chemical energy conversion,holding promise in boosting natural photosynthesis.
