In 2015, however, continued improvements led to the ‘artificial leaf’, a one square centimetre electrode device that achieved a ηSTC of 4.6%, exceeding that of typical plants. Kato’s team ...
Scientists are repurposing their research about bacteria-powered biobatteries into a new idea for artificial plants that can feed off carbon dioxide, give off oxygen and even generate a little power.
The team set out with one goal – to find ways to reuse carbon dioxide in a sustainable way, achieved through the design of an artificial plant. In nature, plants feed themselves using photosynthesis, ...
Nathan Lewis will present about the discovery and development of materials and a system architecture for the direct production of fuels from sunlight. The membrane-embedded microwire array approach is ...
