Progress in Developing the Artificial Leaf
March 11, 2014 | Leave a Comment
There’s progress on hydrogen based fuel from efforts to produce fuels with artificial photosynthesis known commonly as the artificial leaf. A new study by Berkeley Lab researchers at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) shows that nearly 90 percent of the electrons generated by a hybrid material designed to store solar energy in hydrogen […]

Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have reported the first fully integrated nanosystem for artificial photosynthesis. The scientists have taken the “artificial leaf” as the popular term for such a system, to success as an “artificial forest.” The DOE is under pressure politically as the climate crowd is […]

Progress On The Synthetic Leaf
October 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment
MIT’s professor Daniel Nocera has a new paper published for a solar driven hydrogen splitting “leaf” that is made entirely of earth-abundant, inexpensive materials – mostly silicon, cobalt and nickel – that functions in ordinary water. Past work to produce devices that could use sunlight to split water have relied on corrosive solutions or on […]
