A Natural Membrane Using Solar Makes Hydrogen Fuel
January 22, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Argonne National Laboratory scientists have combined two membrane-bound protein complexes to perform a complete conversion of water molecules to hydrogen and oxygen. The team has found a chemical reaction pathway central to plant biology and have adapted it to form the backbone of a new process that converts water into hydrogen fuel using energy from […]

One Step Closer to Artificial Photosynthesis
May 5, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Chemists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) have now got one step closer to artificial photosynthesis with a new structure of a ruthenium catalyst. Developing the necessary efficient catalysts and associated dyes is a focal area of research at the Chair of Professor Frank Würthner at the University of Würzburg’s Institute of Organic Chemistry. Two of Professor […]

Working At Better Understanding of Photosynthesis
June 11, 2012 | 1 Comment
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are working toward a better understanding of how a large complex of proteins, called Photosystem II, is able to split water molecules into oxygen, electrons and hydrogen ions (protons). Splitting the water for the hydrogen and […]
