Solar-to-Fuel Direct Conversion

Fusion of Nature and Artificiality

Artificial photosynthesis

Artificial photosynthesis can be defined as a technology that mimics natural photosynthesis and consists of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. Recently, many studies have been conducted to solve the energy crisis.

Direct fuel generation

A technology for directly storing solar energy as chemical energy is being developed. Our group is conducting research on converting solar energy into gas or liquid fuel by using the natural photosynthetic system of green algae cells, where photosynthesis occurs actively.
