Another aritificial photosynthesis system for generating a formic acid by using water and CO2 under sunlight, developed by Panasonic. The system is entirely constructed with inorganic materials. Its construction is simple.
The solar energy conversion efficiency is 0.2%, comparable with that of the photosynthesis of a plant. The inorganic material to be synthesized is selectable. Photoelectrode = nitride semiconductor, and electrode for generating the organic material = metal catalysis. Panasonic, July 2012
