Artificial photosynthesis system produces 'solar-fuel' even in low light

Plants have mastered it for millions of years: Turn sunlight into chemical energy, even if the sun only seems weak and clouds filter the light. Photovoltaic systems quickly reach limits, because fluctuating light conditions make a stable power supply difficult without complex buffer systems. Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have now developed a system for artificial photosynthesis that solves this problem in an unusual way.
Artificial photosynthesis system produces 'solar-fuel' even in low light
Unlike conventional solar systems, which are hampered by the sun’s fluctuations and require backup systems to even them out, leaves can harness solar energy even in low-light conditions. Taking a step toward that leaf-like performance, researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an artificial photosynthesis system that produces formic acid from carbon dioxide and water using solar power.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, Engineeri…
