A new prototype that turns the sun’s energy into hydrogen fuel could point the way to commercially viable artificial photosynthesis. Fuels produced using the sun’s power offers many advantages over conventional solar power. Fuel made inexpensively through artificial photosynthesis could be the ultimate renewable energy source.
