Plankton-like Protocells for Artificial Photosynthesis Targeting Carbon-neutral Energy Vectors

Descrição

Global energy demands are continuously rising and necessitate green alternatives to fossil fuels, including wind and solar sources. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the PLANKT-ON project aims to develop a net-zero emissions technology inspired by nature that releases oxygen into the atmosphere and simultaneously produces formate as a precursor for hydrogen fuel. The technology involves assembling synthetic plankton-like protocells that use light, water and CO2 to produce O2 and formate. The latter is easily converted into hydrogen gas through chemical reactions, serving as a potential source of clean energy. The technology will complement other solar technologies, such as photovoltaics and photoelectrocatalysis, and will empower the EU vision for solar fuels production through artificial photosynthesis.
