All In One Water Splitting Catalyst System
September 18, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München scientists have developed novel catalyst based on semiconductor nanoparticles that has been shown to facilitate all the reactions needed for water splitting ‘artificial photosynthesis’. A solar-powered water splitting system is a promising means of generating clean and short term storable fuel. Today there is a demand to develop efficient ways of obtaining and […]

New Catalyst Converts Electricity to Chemical Fuels
November 30, 2017 | 6 Comments
University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering researchers new catalyst is one step closer to artificial photosynthesis. It is a system that, just like plants, would use renewable energy to convert recycle carbon dioxide (CO2) into stored chemical energy. By both capturing carbon emissions and storing energy from solar or wind power, the […]

New Catalyst Boosts Artificial Photosynthesis
October 10, 2017 | 6 Comments
Brookhaven National Laboratory chemists have designed a new ‘single-site’ catalyst that speeds up the rate of a key step in artificial photosynthesis. It’s the first to match the efficiency of the catalytic sites that drive this reaction in nature and could greatly improve the potential for making efficient solar-to-fuel conversion devices. The chemistry is about […]
