Researchers develop artificial leaf that turns CO2 and sunlight into fuel

--> Fri, 29 Jul 2016-07:20pm , Washington , PTI The leaf acts like it's natural counterpart, turning carbon dioxide into a hydrocarbon fuel. Scientists have developed "artificial leaves" - potentially game-changing solar cells that cheaply and efficiently convert atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into usable hydrocarbon fuel using sunlight. Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy...
