Converting Light Into Energy with an "Artificial Leaf"

Converting Light Into Energy with an "Artificial Leaf"

(8)Jul-03-09
Researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands have built a light-harvesting antenna using the chlorophyll of the alga Spirulina: they’re now halfway towards the artificial leaf.

What they now have is a molecular blue-print that imitates the most efficient light-gatherer in nature. The next step is finding a way to convert that light into energy. Once that happens, the idea of artificial forests at a nano scale, producing clean energy from light, won’t seem so far away.
