Researchers at MIT University have developed an artificial leaf that can utilize sunlight for “photosynthesis”. The leaf will help extracting hydrogen from water in order to produce clean electricity. Made of silicon, some electronic components and low-cost chemical catalysts, this artificial leaf represents an important advancement in the field of chemistry.
The first artificial leaf was developed ten years ago by John Turner of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory. That leaf was unstable and could not produce energy constantly more than one day. Unlike it, the newly developed leaf can produced a constant output of power for 45 continuous hours.

If you read other articles on MyGreenTreasure.com you may notice my attraction towards biological systems and especially towards plants and how they influence our lives. Growing plants around our homes and even inside our homes offers some very important advantages. Two of these advantages are: improving air quality and the unique design offered by various ornaments. Growing plants is not always an easy task, because the plants require special treatment depending on the species and on the location.
