Battery-free artificial photosynthesis keeps solar fuel production stable under shifting sunlight
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University built an artificial photosynthesis system that produces solar fuel without needing a battery. Traditional systems require expensive electronics to handle shifting sunlight, but this redesigned electrolyzer self-regulates by using heat and electrical resistance changes to stay efficient automatically. During testing, it successfully converted water and CO2 into formic acid under real, fluctuating sunlight conditions.
