Abstract

Cooperative coacervation of a porphyrin and a polycation electrolyte gives birth to photoactive membraneless protocells via liquid–liquid phase separation, where J-aggregates are formed to offer energy transduction pathways, rendering an adaptive platform for confining photocatalytic reactions within protocell compartments.
