Abstract

The global energy demand and the ongoing environmental crisis underscore the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis, inspired by nature's energy conversion processes, offers a promising pathway to harness solar energy for renewable fuel production. This paper delves into the catalytic mechanisms underpinning artificial photosynthesis, exploring recent advancements in photocatalysts, reaction optimization, and system scalability. It highlights the integration of green chemistry principles in artificial photosynthesis to minimize environmental impacts and maximize atom economy. Challenges such as catalyst stability, energy efficiency, and economic feasibility are discussed alongside potential breakthroughs. This comprehensive study outlines artificial photosynthesis as a transformative approach toward achieving carbon neutrality and fostering sustainable energy systems.
