Biologically inspired hydrogel harnesses sunlight: one step closer to artificial photosynthesis

Bio-based hydrogels that harness sunlight to convert water into hydrogen fuel, effectively mimicking natural processes to create sustainable energy solutions. Provided by: JAIST Kosuke Okeyoshi Mimicking the way plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream of scientists looking to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that uses sunlight to trigger chemical reactions that attempt…
