A group of scientists from Binghamton University in New York have developed an artificial plant that can both purify the air and produce electricity.

This developed plant is based on five biological solar cells and photosynthetic bacteria. This project, initially designed for “entertainment purposes”, later became a scientifically important discovery when it was realized that it could have practical potential for use.

This artificial plant consists of five artificial leaves and these leaves not only remove CO2 from the air, but also have the power to light a light bulb by generating electricity. Also artificial plant, It can remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air much more efficiently than natural plants. This characteristic is very important in a world where CO2 levels in the external environment are rising rapidly due to increasing global warming.

An important step towards an unlimited energy source

Researchers emphasize that this artificial plant can be used to purify the air, especially in closed spaces. These plants can even photosynthesize with indoor light, a situation that even natural plants often have difficulty with.

During the experiments it was carried out in a closed environment. They were shown to reduce CO2 levels by 90%. This percentage is impressive considering that natural herbs typically only provide a 10% reduction. For example, the use of such artificial plants may become widespread in places such as closed office environments where ventilation systems are inadequate.

An additional important point is that the artificial plants produced have great potential in the fight against the current climate crisis. Artificial plants use an artificial photosynthesis method to produce electricity, A big step towards producing unlimited energy sources in the future It is rated as. Although there has not yet been any truly revolutionary development in this area, the role that artificial and genetically modified plants will play in reducing CO2 emissions may herald a new era in the fight against climate change.
