Solar fuel
A
solar fuel
is a
fuel
produced from
sunlight
through
artificial photosynthesis
or (experimental as of 2013) a thermochemical reaction. Light is used as an
energy source
, with
solar energy
being
transduced
to
chemical energy
, typically by reducing
protons
to
hydrogen
, or
carbon dioxide
to
organic compounds
. A solar fuel can be produced and stored for later usage, when sunlight is not available, making it an
alternative
to
fossil fuels
. Diverse
photocatalysts
are being developed to carry these reactions in a
sustainable
,
environmentally friendly
way.
