Scientists have created an “artificial leaf” to fight climate change by inexpensively converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into a useful alternative fuel. The new technology, outlined in... Read more
A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually be us... Read more
Artificial leaves mimic photosynthesis — the process whereby plants use water and carbon dioxide from the air to produce carbohydrates using energy from the sun. But even state-of-the-art ar... Read more
Using sunlight for sustainable and cheap production of, for example, medicines. The ‘mini-factory’ in the form of a leaf that chemical engineers from Eindhoven University of Tech... Read more
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but electricity might someday. Iowa State University scientists have built a device that mimics the branches and leaves of a cottonwood tree and generates electr... Read more
Uses the power of the sun to mimic underwater photosynthesis to generate hydrogen. A team of international researchers, affiliated with UNIST has recently engineered a new artificial leaf th... Read more
A team at the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels has developed a process for providing sensitive semiconductors for solar water splitting (“artificial leaves”) with an organic, transparent protec... Read more
“Surprisingly, some of the catalysts we’ve developed for use in the artificial leaf device actually heal themselves” Another innovative feature has been added to the world’s first practical... Read more
