Closing the Voltage Gap

摘要

Scientists continue to look to nature for efficient, simple ways to harness the abundant energy stored in the sun. One particularly important focus of this work is artificial photosynthesis, which attempts to mimic the biological machinery tucked inside leaves to convert sunlight into chemical energy that can be stored and used at a later time. Many advances have been announced over the past few years, each offering a different spin on this nature-inspired technology.
