Researchers split water by altering photosynthetic machinery in plants; semi-artificial photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

They used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a mixture of biological components and manmade technologies. A new paper, published in Nature Energy , outlines how the researchers at the Reisner Laboratory in Cambridge developed their platform to achieve unassisted solar-driven water-splitting.
