Schematic of a tandem artificial photosynthetic device (a) and its light-absorbing properties (b). This device operates in a fashion analogous to natural photosynthesis. As in figure 1, the approximate energy of the electrons as they pass through the device is shown. The tandem is in balance when both halves receive the same number of photons. An optimal use of the sunlight is reached with cut-off wavelengths of around 700 and 1100 nm. (Online version in colour.)
