Among them are smart solar storage systems, smartly interconnected energy grids, and electricity - based synthetic fuels (e-fuels).
All over the world researchers are investigating solar cells which imitate plant photosynthesis, using sunlight and water to create synthetic fuels such as hydrogen.
Working in his lab in UD's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rosenthal and doctoral student John DiMeglio have developed an inexpensive catalyst that uses the electricity generated from solar energy to convert carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, into synthetic fuels for powering cars, homes and businesses.
Rosenthal says that if carbon dioxide emissions become taxed in the future due to continuing concerns about global warming, his solar - driven catalyst for making synthetic fuel will compete even better economically with fossil fuels.
The first 200 l of synthetic fuel have now been produced from solar energy and the air's carbon dioxide by Fischer - Tropsch synthesis under the SOLETAIR project.
