Joonseok Lee, Jiseok Lee, Jungki Ryu, and their co-workers have proposed a novel method for fabricating solar-to-chemical energy conversion devices using a layer-by-layer assembly technique. By precisely assembling plasmonic and upconversion nanoparticles, polyelectrolytes, and molecular catalysts, they enhance light-harvesting, surface passivation, and catalysis for more efficient solar water oxidation.-Journal cover design by scapiens
