Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- New findings from a team of researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory showed that photosynthesis - the process by which plants regenerate using energy from the Sun - may function as a clean, sustainable source of hydrogen.
New findings from a team of researchers from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, however, show that photosynthesis the process by which plants regenerate using energy from the sun may function as that clean, sustainable source of hydrogen.
According to Kazunari Domen, from the University of Tokyo in Japan, noted that the ultimate goal of artificial photosynthesis is to produce a liquid fuel, such as methanol, or "wood alcohol.
Even if plants receive less direct sunshine, the presence of clouds and pollution scatter the light that does filter through such that fewer leaves -- which is where photosynthesis occurs -- wind up in total shade.
This process of photosynthesis takes place in a plant's chloroplasts.
Lead scientist Dr Peter Holliman, from the School of Chemistry, said: "We remember from our schooldays that photosynthesis operates by light being absorbed by the leaf.
And Cahen calls the concept of artificial photosynthesis "the Holy Grail" of sustainability.
During photosynthesis simple sugars are produced from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide from the air.
