- This paper has for the first time demonstrated a new strategy to the best use of solar energy. By mimicking the micro/nanoarchitecture of butterfly wings, an efficient bio-inspired photocatalytic system is constructed, which can enhance the far red-to-NIR (700~1200 nm) harvesting performance up to 25%, significantly better than the relevant published results. The work was immediately picked up by the world-class groups (e.g., the US Naval Research Laboratory, 10.1117/1.JPE.7.012007).
