New Bionic Leaf Could Solve World’s Energy Storage Problem

Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are developing a new bionic blade that can catechumen activity from sunlight into an energy-dense fuel, assuming the photosynthetic action of plants. We’ve covered the bogus blade abstraction afore but abreast from application a air-conditioned new name (bionic blade sounds abundant acknowledgment than bogus leaf, right?) the Berkeley activity represents a new aberration on the technology that could advance to far greater efficiencies.
The Bogus Blade Concept
Whether you alarm it an bogus blade or a bionic leaf, the basal abstraction is almost simple. Instead of application a photovoltaic corpuscle to accomplish electricity anon from sunlight, you arrange a actinic acknowledgment that food solar activity in the anatomy of hydrogen, which you can again use in a hydrogen ammunition corpuscle to accomplish electricity.
Bionic blade address of Berkeley Lab.
That sunlight-to-hydrogen alternation agency you can abundance solar activity indefinitely, potentially in huge quantities, so anticipate of it as a affectionate of array and you’re on the appropriate track. The ammunition corpuscle affiliation agency that the alternate attributes of solar activity is not an issue, and neither is its attrition to mobility.
