Scientists create bionic leaf which uses solar energy to split water molecule

Q.  Harvard University researchers have created a bionic leaf which uses which form of energy to split water molecules into O2 and Hydrogen?
- Published on 06 Jun 16

a. Solar
b. Wind
c. Thermal
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Solar
 
Harvard University researchers have created a unique bionic leaf which uses solar energy to split water molecular into oxygen and hydrogen, and the herding eating bacteria to produce liquid fuels from CO2
  • This invention is called bionic leaf 2.0 and is a new system which can convert solar energy to biomass with 10 percent eficiency- a number higher than one percent seen in fastest growing plants
  • This is an artificial photosynthesis system
  • System can be used to generate usable fuels and make downstream carbon based molecules
  • The technology has a chemical design which allows it to self heal
