Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced an “artificial leaf”—a solar water-splitting cell producing hydrogen and oxygen that operates in near-neutral pH conditions, both with and without connecting wires. The cells were operated in a two-electrode cell configuration. (B) Reece et al. Click to enlarge.

When sandwiched between and charged by two metal plates, the membrane can store charge at 0.2 With existing technologies based on liquid electrolytes, it costs about US$7 to store each farad. With the advanced energy storage membrane, the cost to store each farad falls to US$0.62. —Xie et al. —Xian Ning Xie.
