‘Artificial leaf’ successfully produces clean gas
by
•A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually …read more Source:: Science
Artificial photosynthesis transforms carbon dioxide into liquefiable fuels
by
•Chemists have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. By converting carbon dioxide into more complex molecules like propane, green energy technology is now …read more Source:: Science
Electrode’s ‘hot edges’ convert carbon dioxide gas into fuels and chemicals
