Artificial photosynthesis: understanding water splitting in nature.
In the context of a global artificial photosynthesis (GAP) project, we review our current work on nature's water splitting catalyst. In a recent report (Cox et al. 2014 Science 345, 804-808 (doi:10.1126/science.1254910)), we showed that the catalyst-a Mn4O5Ca cofactor-converts into an 'activated' form immediately prior to the O-O bond formation step. This activated state, which represents an al...
متن کاملBoosting the Efficiency of Suspended Photocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting.
Water Splitting I is a significant task to cover the residential energy demand of a society (approximately 20% of the total) with solar energy, but it is a much greater challenge to cover all of it, including the demands of industry, commerce, and transportation. The 20% goal may be achievable through photovoltaic-powered households and appliances, but the 100% goal will require extensive facil...
متن کاملArtificial Photosynthesis: Solar Splitting of Water to Hydrogen and Oxygen
The maintenance of life on earth, our food, oxygen, and fossil fuels depend upon the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy by biological photosynthesis carried out by green plants and photosynthetic bacteria. In this process sunlight and available abundant raw materials (water, carbon dioxide) are converted to oxygen and the reduced organic species that serve as food and fuel. A long-...
متن کاملUnassisted photoelectrochemical water splitting exceeding 7% solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency using photon recycling
Various tandem cell configurations have been reported for highly efficient and spontaneous hydrogen production from photoelectrochemical solar water splitting. However, there is a contradiction between two main requirements of a front photoelectrode in a tandem cell configuration, namely, high transparency and high photocurrent density. Here we demonstrate a simple yet highly effective method t...
متن کاملWater splitting-biosynthetic system with CO₂ reduction efficiencies exceeding photosynthesis.
Artificial photosynthetic systems can store solar energy and chemically reduce CO2 We developed a hybrid water splitting-biosynthetic system based on a biocompatible Earth-abundant inorganic catalyst system to split water into molecular hydrogen and oxygen (H2 and O2) at low driving voltages. When grown in contact with these catalysts, Ralstonia eutropha consumed the produced H2 to synthesize b...
