Bionic Leaf 2.0 Creates Liquid Fuel

Jun-08-16 The bionic leaf 2.0 takes advantage of specially engineered bacteria to convert sunlight into liquid fuel.

Developed by a team from Harvard University, the bionic leaf 2.0 mimics natural photosynthesis by using solar power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. While this technology has been established, the bionic leaf stands out with the addition of a new alloy and engineered bacteria that will consume the hydrogen to produce liquid fuel. The new system can convert solar energy to biomass with a ten percent efficiency—vastly exceeding the natural efficiency found in plants.
