artificial photosynthesis

New approach improves efficiency of converting sunlight to hydrogen fuel; provides platform for testing different combos of light-absorbers and catalysts

The new findings demonstrated an increase in the rate at which the material conducts protons when it is simply illuminated with sunlight

Florida professor triggered the process of photosynthesis in a synthetic material, turning greenhouse gases into clean air and producing energy

Process sets free protons and electrons that can be used to make fuels

Berkeley Lab advance is first demonstration of efficient, light-powered production of fuel via artificial photosynthesis

Carbonitride aerogels mediate the photocatalytic conversion of water

Findings of ASU team led by Raimund Fromme could have implications in the design of solar panels or renewable biofuels

System is designed to mimic key functions of the photosynthetic center in green plants to convert solar energy into chemical energy stored by hydrogen fuel

Researchers' invention uses bacteria, sunlight, water, and air to make fertilizer in the very soil where crops are grown.

Supercomputer simulations and as well as lab-based experiments showed that water serves as an invisible cage for the growth of micelle fibers
