the system can duplicate the water splitting reaction that occurs during photosynthesis |
Hmmmm. Photosynthesis obtains oxygen (and sugar) from Carbon Dioxide and water
The article doesn't suggest where the sugar goes, (alcohol maybe with a bit of yeast ?)
Whilst it all looks good on paper, I cannot help feeling that a mechanical process using solar panels ( an energy intensive product to manufacture), cannot begin to compete with the efficiency of plants.
