General considerations[edit | edit source]
Sacrificial electron donors (SDs) are an important component of artificial systems that mimic photochemical conversions of CO2 and others. In most of the currently known systems a few sacrificial electron donors are used, those and their properties will be described in brief in the following sections. The information summarized on this page is gained from different articles published in the literature, e.g. the review on Sacrificial Electron Donor Reagents for solar fuel production [Sed16].
The most often occurring artificial photosystems are the so-called three-component-systems (TCS). SDs play a major role in particular in reductive TCS which consist of (1) a photosensitizer, (2) the SD, and (3) the catalyst. A TCS usually works as follows:
