Artificial photosynthesis
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-000815
A process that mimics natural photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into chemical fuels or other valuable products. This involves developing systems that can absorb light energy, separate charges, and catalyze redox reactions. Research in this field aims to create sustainable energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
