Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis. The term artificial photosynthesis is used loosely, referring to any scheme for capturing and then storing energy from sunlight by producing a fuel, specifically a solar fuel. [1]

2021年11月11日 · Scientists are mimicking photosynthesis to help reduce our fossil-fuel dependence. Every plant, animal, and person owes their life to one sequence of chemical reactions: photosynthesis. The process, which converts water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight, first evolved in cyanobacteria more than 2 billion years ago. That’s right.

2022年11月10日 · A Nature Catalysis study from six chemists at the University of Chicago shows an innovative new system for artificial photosynthesis that is more productive than previous artificial systems by an order of magnitude. Unlike regular photosynthesis, which produces carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, artificial photosynthesis could produce ...

In 2021, researchers from Toyota Central R&D Labs developed a large, cost-effective artificial photosynthesis system that produces industrial formate at a solar-to-chemical conversion...

2024年11月1日 · Bio-artificial photosynthetic systems can reduce CO 2 into multicarbon compounds by simulating natural photosynthesis. Here, inspired by organic photovoltaic structures, we demonstrate a bio-artificial photosynthetic system based on the hybridization of polymer semiconductor films and bacteria.

2011年9月30日 · The 'artificial leaf,' a device that can harness sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without needing any external connections, is seen with some real leaves, which also convert the energy of sunlight directly into storable chemical form.

2024年6月8日 · This artificial leaf, similar to natural leaves, integrates essential properties for the natural photosynthetic and carbon sequestration processes, including light capture, stomatal expansion...

2012年4月4日 · This Account describes the construction of an artificial leaf comprising earth-abundant elements by interfacing a triple junction, amorphous silicon photovoltaic with hydrogen- and oxygen-evolving catalysts made from a ternary alloy (NiMoZn) and a cobalt–phosphate cluster (Co-OEC), respectively.

2017年4月11日 · By making microbes that pair some of our best light-harvesting technology with nature’s way of using the sun’s energy – photosynthesis – we might be able to create tiny, green factories that pump...

2014年6月4日 · Researchers make headway in turning photons into fuel. On a bright spring morning in Pasadena, California, the air is rich with the smells of cut grass and flowers.
