AIEgen-modified chloroplasts can adsorb ultraviolet radiation and increase the efficiency of photosynthesis
Modifying chloroplasts with aggregation-induced emission luminogens, known as AIEgens, makes them better at splitting water, separating electrons and generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The AIEgens, which were attached using click chemistry, enhance the chloroplasts by harvesting light that is normally inaccessible to regular photosynthetic pigments.
