Artificial Photosynthesis Technology for Generation of Fuel and Feedstock from Carbon Dioxide.

In our challenging world where, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide increases, where the exhaustion of fossil fuels is critical, where the spurring interest in adoption of renewable energy sources are encouraged,   technologies that use solar energy to generate carbon compounds from carbon dioxide and water are welcome. 

Connectikpeople.co, also available via www.retinknow.ga, observes that, Toshiba’s technology uses a gold nanocatalyst via nanoscale structural control technology applied to a multijunction semiconductor that absorbs light in the visible range with high light utilization efficiency. 

The long-term goal of the research work is to develop a technology compatible with carbon dioxide capture systems installed at facilities such as thermal power stations and factories, utilizing carbon dioxide to provide stockable and trailerable energy.
