Cambridge University researchers develop artificial leaf to turn carbon dioxide into fuel

A team of researchers at Cambridge University developed an artificial leaf that can float on water and absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from air and turn the water into fuel like hydrogen and syngas. The researchers tested their 100-square-centimetre artificial-leaf device outdoors on a river. The device, depending on the catalyst used, either splits water

Researchers at Cambridge developed floating artificial leaves for clean fuels

Researchers from Cambridge University have developed floating artificial leaves that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and are hopeful they could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. The researchers designed ultra-thin, flexible devices, which take their inspiration from photosynthesis – the process by which plants convert sunlight into food. Since the low-cost,
