TRANSCRIPT
Photosynthesis is a process that plants and organisms use to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. It is crucial for life on Earth but rare and valuable outside our planet. Researchers have been working on #artificialphotosynthesis, which could help us survive and thrive in space.
Space travel is challenging because we need oxygen, and carrying enough with us is difficult. Current methods on the International Space Station, like electrolysis, are unreliable and heavy. To solve this, scientists are exploring the possibility of using solar energy to produce oxygen and recycle carbon dioxide in a single device, similar to how #photosynthesis works in nature. This approach would be more efficient, reduce the weight and volume of the system, and simplify maintenance.
The devices would use semiconductor materials coated with metallic catalysts instead of chlorophyll, and they could operate at room temperature on the Moon and Mars and have the potential to create artificial atmospheres and produce valuable chemicals, while also addressing sustainability challenges on Earth. By mimicking nature's photosynthesis, we can unlock new possibilities for space exploration and our future energy economy.
