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