On February 1, 2026, drawing inspiration from the natural process of plant photosynthesis, the new technology team specializing in air purification at the Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, put forward a comprehensive strategy for the synergistic conversion of carbon dioxide and water. The team's related research findings were published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications on January 31 of the same year. This innovative strategy enables the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide and water into energy under natural light conditions, leveraging an electron storage pathway.
