The initial focus of JCAP research was tackling the efficient splitting of water in the photosynthesis process. For this JCAP study, researchers engineered a complete system to work at different times of day, not just at a light energy level of 1-sun illumination, which is equivalent to the peak of brightness at high noon on a sunny day.
