Yale Team Aims to Turn Sunlight Into Liquid Fuel
 

A team of Yale chemists accepted the challenge from the Department of Energy search for a way to distill sunlight into liquid fuel.

The Yale researchers will join 12 other institutions in attempting to create an affordable photo catalytic cell for water cleavage with visible light power. The goal of the $12.8 million DOE Solar Energy to Chemical Fuels Initiative is to create economically viable fuels suitable for use in transportation.
