Artificial photosynthesis system may lead to greener plastics
Ethylene, which is the building block of polyethylene, is an important chemical feedstock produced in large quantities for manufacturing plastics, rubber and fibres.
Photosynthesis inspires scientists to convert sunlight-induced CO2 into solar fuel!
Even though, previously, researchers had successfully managed to implement similar operations, they couldn't be realized due to unavailability of proper resources.
