New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis
Green Car Congress
AUGUST 13, 2023
A hierarchical self-assembly photocatalytic system (left) mimics the natural photosynthesis apparatus of a purple bacteria, called Rhodobacter sphaeroides (right), achieving 15% solar-to-fuel efficiency when converting carbon dioxide into methane. It mimics the structure of a purple bacteria’s light-harvesting chromatophores (i.e.
