Science Nation: Solar Fuels--A Grand Challenge of 21st Century Chemistry

Setting sun as seen through tall wild grasses. Caption: to harness the sun's energy to make renewable fuels.

Solar panels are becoming a familiar site in communities across the United States, but what about solar fuels? A solar fuel is produced from sunlight through artificial photosynthesis, mimicking what Mother Nature has been doing for billions of years. Many chemists and chemical engineers are working to make solar fuels a viable option in the future. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
