Artificial photosynthesis in sight: Molecule stores sunlight for sustainable fuels

By | August 25, 2025

A research team at the University of Basel has developed a molecule that mimics natural photosynthesis and simultaneously stores two positive and two negative charges under the influence of light. This molecule could be an important step towards CO2-neutral fuels such as hydrogen, methanol, or synthetic gasoline, which release only as much carbon dioxide during combustion as was required for their production. Photosynthesis… Read more »
