摘要： Optimizing photosynthesis is imperative for providing energy and organics for all life on the earth. Here, carbon dots doped with pyridinic nitrogen (named lev-CDs) are synthesized by the one-pot hydrothermal method, and the structure-function relationship between functional groups on lev-CDs and photosynthesis of Chlorella pyrenoidosa (C. pyrenoidosa) is proposed. Pyridinic nitrogen plays a key role in the positive effect on photosynthesis caused by lev-CDs. In detail, lev-CDs act as electron donors to supply photo-induced electrons to P680(+) and QA(+), causing electron transfer from lev-CDs to the photosynthetic electron transport chain in the photosystems. In return, the recombination efficiency of electron-hole pairs on lev-CDs decreases. As a result, the electron transfer rate in the electron transport chain, the activity of photosystem II, and the Calvin cycle are enhanced. Moreover, the electron transfer rate between C. pyrenoidosa and external circumstances enhanced by lev-CDs is about 50%, and electrons exported from C. pyrenoidosa can be used to reduce iron(III). This study is of great significance for engineering nanomaterials to improve photosynthesis.
