Light-activated reversible displacement of perylene bisimide ligands from zinc sulfide nanocrystals.

Caption

In a first, researchers from Japan have demonstrated a photoinducible displacement of organic ligands in organic-inorganic nanohybrid materials. Their study reveals that this property enhances the functionality of such nanohybrid materials, paving the way for the development of advanced light-activated photocatalysts for a sustainable society.
