Chemists have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. Green energy technology is now one step closer to using excess carbon dioxide to store solar energy.
There's nothing new about breaking water apart to create a clean supply of energy but most methods to date have relied on expensive catalysts. But the new process could change that.
A chemistry professor in Florida has found a way to trigger the process of photosynthesis in a synthetic material, turning greenhouse gases into clean air and producing energy all at the same time.
