Artificial photosynthesis could someday replace solar panels and produce limitless clean energy. Enough energy hits the Earth in the form of. . Solar panels are an increasingly popular way to generate electricity from the sun's energy. Although humans are still figuring out how to reliably turn that energy into fuel, plants have been doing it for eons through photosynthesis. Now, a team reporting in ACS Engineering Au has mimicked the. . Artificial photosynthesis is a process that mimics the natural photosynthesis performed by plants and other organisms. This process has been perfected by plants over millions of years of. . It is the conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into usable fuel, emitting useful oxygen in the process.
