Using Nanotechnology to Make Renewable Fuel from Sunlight: A Conversation with Dan Nocera
from Stories from the NNI · host Dan Nocera, Branden Brough
In this episode of the “Stories from the NNI” podcast, Dan Nocera, the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, describes how he and his team have developed a nanostructured device, called an artificial leaf, which works like a leaf by using sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen; then, the hydrogen can be used to generate renewable fuel.
