Solar energy technology-3 (artificial photosynthesis)

An artificial photosynthesis system, developed anew, is capable of storing chemical energy of which the amount is in excess of an amount of the energy generated through the photosynthesis of a plant. The artificial photosynthesis system enables itself to synthesize organic materials by using solar energy.
1) Molecules of the material, which are capable of storing high energy of light at low temperature (originally developed), are fixed in and at nano-holes of a unique material.
2) Molecules of the material, which is originally developed in 1) above, together with the molecules, which are easy to react with oxygen, are fixed in and at the nano-holes of the unique material referred to 1) above. It is confirmed that chemical reaction is performed at high efficiency by using solar energy. Osaka University, Prof. Fukusumi, April 2012. More > rvtpe01@hotmail.co.jp
