剑桥大学发明”人造叶子” 将二氧化碳和水变燃料
(伦敦24日综合电)英国剑桥大学的科学家通过植物叶子的光合作用原理,发明了”人造叶子”(artificial leaves);在户外的实验也证明,”人造叶子”可以像植物叶子一样有效地将阳光和水转化为可储存的燃料,具有可观的环保应用前景。
这种超薄、灵活的”人造叶子”,其原理与传统太阳能发电不同,它采用太阳能技术来模拟植物的光合作用,漂浮着的”叶子”表面涂有半导体粉末,通过吸收光能将二氧化碳和水转化为可以储存的液体燃料,未来可成为一种持续性的汽油替代品,且不占用陆地。另外,设备的便携性还有助于维护能源安全。
研发团队表示,许多现有可再生能源技术需要占用大量土地,如果将能源生产转移到水面上就不再占用土地;此外, 当前全球约80%的贸易,由以化石燃料为动力的货船运输,但在气候危机的讨论中,此行业未受关注。

在剑桥圣约翰学院附近的卡姆河上漂浮的”人造叶子”。
“人造叶子”超薄、灵活。
这是全球第一款在水上产生的清洁燃料,目前这项新技术还未投入商业化应用,科学家仍在优化从”叶子”中采集燃料的方式。
未来如果真的大规模使用”人造叶子”,可有效减少全球航运业对化石燃料的依赖,也可用于受污染的水道、港口。
此研究成果本月17日在《自然》杂志上发表。
