Development of Improved Artificial Leaf System

Research

Research

A system that mimics natural photosynthesis by converting sunlight into electrical power and chemical energy. The Harvard artificial leaf submerges solar technology in water to generate oxygen and hydrogen.

A catalyst component integrated into the artificial leaf system that maintains its integrity during operation without degrading or bleeding materials into the surrounding liquid solution.

Technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only byproduct.

Massachusetts

A synthetic photosynthesis system developed by Harvard University that converts sunlight into electrical power and chemical energy (oxygen and hydrogen) more efficiently than natural plants.

The world's first artificial leaf, capable of perfectly replicating photosynthesis to produce electricity and hydrogen gas by absorbing sunlight.
