Chemists Create Molecular 'Leaf' That Collects and Stores Solar Power Without Solar Panels

Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - 13:31 in Physics & Chemistry

An international research team centered at Indiana University have engineered a molecule that uses light or electricity to convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide -- a carbon-neutral fuel source -- more efficiently than any other method of "carbon reduction." The discovery, reported today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, is a new milestone in the quest to recycle carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere into carbon-neutral fuels and others materials.
