[edit] Water splitting
One method of hydrogen production is water splitting, the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen and one way of doing this uses sunlight. (I reworded this before moving it here.)
How is this relevant to this article? Brian Jason Drake 10:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Artificial photosynthesis is not limited to production hydrocarbons from CO2 but includes generating hydrogen from water, see water splitting en reference see for example: http://www.physorg.com/news3122.html. V8rik 17:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Concept verses reality!
It doesn't seem to me that anybody has succeeded in artificially photosynthesizing CO2 & O2 using natural sunlight! This article in effect describes a concept which is being studied and not a "a man-made process". If someone more informed can give more information then please do, otherwise please re-write this article to reflect the fact that this is only a concept. --DelftUser 07:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
