Question

Advantages and disadvantages of artificial photosynthesis

Answer 1

Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that replicates the natural process of photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen; as an imitation of a natural process it is biomimetic. The term, artificial photosynthesis, is commonly used to refer to any scheme for capturing and storing the energy from sunlight in the chemical bonds of a fuel (a solar fuel). Photocatalytic water splitting converts water into hydrogenand oxygen, and is a major research topic of artificial photosynthesis. Light-driven carbon dioxide reduction is another process studied, that replicates natural carbon fixation.

Research of this topic includes the design and assembly of devices for the direct production of solar fuels, photoelectrochemistry and its application in fuel cells, and the engineering of enzymes and photoautotrophicmicroorganisms for microbial biofuel and biohydrogen production from sunlight.

Answer 2

✨ HEY MATE ✨

➡️ Advantage :-
Artificially photosynthesized fuel would be a carbon-neutral source of energy, which could be used for transportation or homes.
➡️ Disadvantage :-
Major disadvantage of artificial photosynthesis is the cost.
Artificial photosynthesis could be more efficient than photosynthesis in plants; but if production of biofuel from plants and algae turns out to be more cost-efficient, it might have the advantage in the short run.
