“Artificial Leaf” To Produce Green Hydrogen
An “artificial leaf” mimics the natural process of photosynthesis to produce green hydrogen from sunlight and water.

Deploying solar energy to mimic photosynthesis is harder than it looks, but a team from Berkeley Lab has cracked part of the “artificial leaf” code.
Perovskite is working its magic on the green hydrogen field and breathing new life into the artificial leaf concept for popping clean H2 out of water.
Solar fuel is the next wave of the renewable energy revolution, once they figure out how to scale a tiny little tile into a commercial scale operation.
A new one-pot “artificial leaf” solar energy harvesting system grabs CO2 from the air, converts it into fuel like magic (or like nanoscience, whatever).
In the latest solar cell breakthrough, a new “artificial leaf”mimics the electron transfer of photosynthesis, at a much faster rate than observed in nature.
The technology of artificial photosynthesis has cleared a major hurdle in its development — researchers from Arizona State University and Argonne National Laboratory have identified and addressed one of the primary limitations in their design of a functional artificial leaf. The creation of a functional artificial leaf — one capable … [continued]
The idea of an “artificial leaf” sounds simple enough: Take a small, cheap, light-collecting device the size of a typical leaf, dunk it in a quart of water, and use solar energy to generate enough hydrogen gas for powering a small fuel cell. Scaled up, these solar-derived fuel cells would … [continued]
What’s all this fuss about silly federal research projects? If one day in the not too distant future you can go to the dollar store, buy a thin, flat device the size of a playing card, dunk it in a quart of dirty bath water and use it to generate … [continued]
A research team led by pioneering clean energy technology developer and MIT professor Daniel Nocera has made a breakthrough that mimics photosynthesis by developing an ‘artificial leaf’ that, like its namesake, captures energy from sunlight and produces electricity that it then turns into chemical fuel — hydrogen and oxygen gas.
