Artificial photosynthesis: Chemists develop dye stacks that mimic energy conversion in plants
What does a stack of four dyes synthesized in Würzburg look like? This represents an additional step into artificial photosynthesis as it absorbs light energy and travels quickly and efficiently into the stack. Credit: Leander Ernst / University of Wuerzburg Artificial photosynthesis allowed humans to use solar energy to combine carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul…

Research on artificial photosynthesis represents a step forward towards green hydrogen
Credit: Carbon (2024). doi:10.1016/j.carbon.2024.119951 How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons and other non-renewable energy sources? This can be done via photoelectrochemical or artificial photosynthesis. It uses sunlight and water, like photosynthesis, to obtain hydrogen without producing harmful emissions. A group of researchers from the Faculty of Physics at Trent University focuses precisely on this approach. This…

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…
