| Abstract: | Artificial light‐harvesting systems have received great attention for use in photosynthetic and optoelectronic devices. Herein, a system involving G‐quartet‐based hierarchical nanofibers generated from the self‐assembly of guanosine 5′‐monophosphate (GMP) and a two‐step Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is presented that mimics natural light‐harvesting antenna. This solid‐state property offers advantages for future device fabrication. The generation of photocurrent under visible light shows it has potential for use as a nanoscale photoelectric device. The work will be beneficial for the development of light‐harvesting systems by the self‐assembly of supramolecular nanostructures. |
