A Multifaceted Vision of Challenges and Opportunities in Practical Artificial Photosynthesis Devices
Abstract
The landscape and status of artificial photosynthesis devices for solar fuels are analyzed by critically combining indications from roadmaps and status reports, patent and literature trends, a market perspective analysis, and an examination of selected ongoing projects in the field. This multifaceted approach aims to provide an innovative vision of opportunities and accelerate their implementation. It integrates insights from multiple perspectives to overcome the partial view of priorities and key elements needed to foster development in the area. Additionally, they include strategies to accelerate implementation from individual analyses. This is recognized as a crucial current gap. Recommendations are provided for aspects that should be introduced to accelerate progress toward significant implementation before 2050, based on this analysis and methodological approach.
