Bionics sheets that turn sunlight into liquid fuels.



Scientists have created a system that uses solar energy to split water molecules with bacteria that eat hydrogen to produce liquid fuels. The system can convert solar energy into biomass with 10% efficiency, far more than 1% have seen in plants that grow faster.





Nocera, professor of energy at Harvard University and the first team have created a system that uses solar energy to split water molecules from bacteria hydrogen-eaters  to produce liquid fuels. The beauty of biology is that it can make chemistry  more easily chemistry itself.


In principle, we have a platform that can make every molecule of carbon power base. So, it has the potential to be more comprehensive. This is a true artificial photosynthetic system. Prior to this, people are using artificial photosynthesis to water allocation, but this is a real system A to Z and we went on the effectiveness of photosynthesis in nature.

While the study shows that the system can be used to generate usable fuel, its potential does not end.
