Scientists develop artificial leaves that can be used to produce cheap, environmentally friendly energy

According to the British Daily Post report, scientists have been committed to exploring cheap, environmentally friendly and efficient energy manufacturing methods. One of the most promising methods is to use hydrogen to make energy. As an environmentally friendly fuel, hydrogen can be generated by decomposing water, but the actual implementation process Worth exploring and researching. At present, scientists are inspired by nature to create an artificial leaf that can produce cheap energy.

Scientists developed an artificial leaf that breaks water into oxygen and hydrogen for the production of cheap, environmentally friendly energy.

Leaves use sunlight for photosynthesis, turning water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel to propel spacecraft. It is also a potential fuel source for internal combustion engines and other vehicles. Scientists at the University of Arizona and Argonne National Laboratory used a similar method to design an artificial leaf.

Professor Thomas Moore of the University of Arizona stated that the efficiency of the artificial leaves that we originally designed was not good. After some analysis, we noticed that one step of the chemical chain can slow the whole process, but the rapid reaction must be In combination with the slower process, a "bottleneck effect" of artificial leaf productivity is formed.

Professor Moore emphasized that rapid reaction is a step in which light energy is converted into chemical energy. Slowing down this process, chemical energy can be converted into water. After a close study of this step, scientists realized that they could further simulate natural features. This natural process uses "an intermediate step."

The team studied this reaction at the atomic level, combining X-ray scattering techniques and spectroscopy to explore the electronic and protonic environments involved in the reaction. They found that this natural process avoided the "bottleneck effect" due to the special structural features. Through the establishment of artificial steps similar to natural processes, the effectiveness of artificial leaves has been significantly improved.

Although it is not yet a viable option for a lot of energy production, this artificial leaf design is even closer to the manufacture of renewable and carbon-free fuels. At the same time, this study helps us to understand in depth the natural photosynthesis process of plants.
