About this collection
We are delighted to share with you a selection of the papers which will be presented at our Faraday Discussion on Artificial Photosynthesis taking place in Kyoto, Japan in February/March 2017. More information about the event may be found here:http://rsc.li/photosynthesis-fd2017. Additional articles will be added to the collection as they are published. The final versions of all the articles presented and a record of the live discussions will be published after the event.
Artificial photosynthesis has the potential to be one of the most promising sciences and technologies for solving the global environmental problems that may threaten the sustainability of humanity, caused by the exhaustion of fossil energy and carbon resources along with the rapid increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. A further escalation of the “CO2 crisis” now seems inevitable. Within decades artificial photosynthesis can be expected to provide one of the most likely and realistic options to address the needs of society as a whole. It will be important for scientists from many disciplines to work together towards the breakthroughs and developments that will be needed to realise this vision.
