Inorganic chemistry

Energy harvested directly from sunlight offers a desirable approach toward fulfilling the global need for clean energy. In photosynthesis, the energy of photons is used to drive the reduction of carbon dioxide to a variety of higher energy products. This reaction is biologically important because it allows for storing of the solar energy in the form of chemical energy, which can be released later in the process of respiration. Collecting and storing solar energy in chemical bonds, as nature accomplishes through photosynthesis, is a highly appealing strategy to solving the energy challenge. The two reactions considered most often in the context of artificial photosynthesis are the reduction of carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide has received attention as an abundant, economical, and renewable C1 feedstock. The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to liquid fuels would positively impact the global CO2 balance.
