The leaf of a plant can do what we call photosynthesis, which absorbs energy from the sun directly. The efficiency of photosynthesis is very high, leaving man “invention as solar panels far behind. The most efficient currently known solar panels can convert about 6% of energy on Sunday. We waste 93% of free energy on Sunday which is available in abundance.
So for years, scientists try to discover what the complexity of chemistry, and is taking steps in the process of photosynthesis. Once the mystery is solved, then it is possible to simulate the process and create a little artificial photosynthesis to convert solar energy application forms of energy with high efficiency.
What is actually in the plant photosynthesis?
Easy to say, “split water molecules. As you know, water is constructed of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen.
However, the separation of water molecules requires very complex chemical reactions. The action occurs in leaves, algae, phytoplankton, vegetables and other agencies. Basically, the plant breaks the water (H2O) into its component hydrogen and oxygen.
Molecules and release oxygen in the air, and use our lives to breathe, so we want those bodies green population decreased continuously in number, because we and the world depend.
Hydrogen is used to convert carbon dioxide, which had the air carbon-based organic molecules. These carbon-based molecules can say that food for plants, these molecules are used to build plant tissues.
Since scientists have solved the mysteries of photosynthesis and to create artificial photosynthesis, then we can use molecular hydrogen, which is divided and used to replace gasoline. And now, scientists are working to resolve this issue.
Thus, if the plants have already committed their energy requires a long time ago, we did not need to find alternative technologies to meet our own. What we need is to study plants and learn from them.
As the saying goes, “If the leaf can do it, so can we.”
