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, EngineeringTags: Osaka Metropolitan University, Solar Powere...
