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.
