Today's lecture was based on content from Dr. Daniel Nocera from MIT. The Nocera group studies the energy conversion in biology and chemistry. Efforts have focused on understanding the reactions of multielectron, proton-coupled transformations of energy poor substrates. From this platform, the group has successfully used solar light to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Recently, they have realized artificial photosynthesis by the solar splitting of water under benign conditions. In doing so, the Nocera group can now provide solar energy/storage and clean water to the poor and those of the non-legacy world.
I highlighted the key points of one of his lecture and if you were interested in the material, check out his talk about "Personalized Energy." You will notice some of the slides are identical to what I used today.
