Principles and Applications of Artificial Photosynthesis

By Shunichi Fukuzumi

Harnessing light energy from the sun is already possible and widely used to produce electricity via photovoltaic cells, however there is a fundamental issue in finding a suitable way of storing electricity. Photosynthesis in green plants locks energy from the sun within the chemical bonds of glucose molecules, not only producing energy but storing it. Molecular mimicry of the fundamental processes occurring in photosynthesis has thus attracted much attention. This book will comprehensively review the molecular-based artificial photosynthesis systems and provide a unified view and future perspective of real artificial photosynthesis by a single author covering the different approaches.
