Abstract

We developed a cell-free artificial photosynthesis platform conducting both light and dark reactions for harvesting light energy and transforming the energy to organic compounds. To the best of our knowledge, such a device had not been reported so far. This system was able to harvest light energy and transform the energy to organic compounds, mimicking a plant leaf. We integrated the “artificial leaves” on a PCB demonstration board to create a compact energy harvesting system with a promising efficiency.
