Nanomaterials can enhance photosynthesis in several ways:
Light Absorption:Nanoparticles such as quantum dots can be engineered to absorb a broader spectrum of light and transfer this energy to the photosynthetic machinery, thereby increasing light absorption efficiency. Electron Transport: Nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes can facilitate faster electron transport within the photosynthetic apparatus, reducing energy losses. Reactive Oxygen Species Management: Nano-antioxidants can mitigate the damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are byproducts of photosynthesis that can harm cells.
