MINIMIZING INEFFICIENCY. “The main fix was to wheel out the carotenoids as quenchers of chlorophyll triplet states and of singlet O2. However in the reaction centres, chlorophyll triplet could be formed by short circuits such as charge recombination. Here again carotenoid quenching has been employed where possible but this is clearly insufficient and many mechanisms exist where by these short-circuits are minimised.”
