Using an ingenious method inspired by the photosynthesis of living things, scientists have developed a new "artificial leaf" that removes CO2 from the air and turns it into sustainable fuels.
The system, inspired by a leaf, is based on a biomimetic transpiration (BT) layer that cools down the embedded PV unit and utilizes excess heat from the cell to produce water and heat energy.
Able to produce electricity and potentially split water into hydrogen and oxygen, this new leaf could revolutionize fuel production ... replica of plant cell cytoplasm using hydrogel coatings.
The scientists explained that the bio-inspired layer has self ... commercial vegetable waxes. The leek leaf replicas were then glued on top of the cell's glass substrate. Immediately after drying ...
