CSIR's artificial leaf creates fuel from sunlight, water
Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that absorbs sunlight to generate hydrogen fuel from water, an advance that may provide clean energy for powering eco-friendly cars in the future.
New Delhi: Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that absorbs sunlight to generate hydrogen fuel from water, an advance that may provide clean energy for powering eco-friendly cars in the future.
The ultra-thin wireless device mimics plant leaves to produce energy using water and sunlight. "It is known that hydrogen generation from renewable resources will be the ultimate solution to our energy and environment problems," said Chinnakonda S Gopinath, a senior principal scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-National Chemical Laboratory in Pune.
Gopinath said that his team had been working in the area of water splitting to generate hydrogen for nearly a decade. "Hydrogen burning gives energy and water as a side product, underscoring its importance and relevance to the present day world," he said.
