Turning Sunlight into Liquid Fuels: Berkeley Lab Researchers Create a Nano-sized Photocatalyst for Artificial Photosynthesis
By admin - Posted on March 12th, 2009
Cobalt oxide nanocrystals can effectively be used to split water molecules, one of the half reactions critical to an artifical photosynthesis system for producing liquid fuels from sunlight.
March 10, 2009 -- Berkeley, CA - For millions of years, green plants have employed photosynthesis to capture energy from sunlight and convert it into electrochemical energy. A goal of scientists has been to develop an artificial version of photosynthesis that can be used to produce liquid fuels from carbon dioxide and water. » read more »
