摘要
植物吸收阳光，产生能量，消耗二氧化碳并呼出氧气。它是理想的发电模型，但大自然是难以模仿的。尽管对太阳能的研究已有很大进步，但日落仍然为我们带来了难题。将由太阳能转化而来的电能储存在电池中，不仅代价高昂，而且能效低。因此，太阳能产业要想真正获得成功，就需要另觅他法储存能量，以备夜用。研究人员现已发现一种化学混合液，或许能达此目的。
Plants absorb sunlight, produce energy, consume carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. It is a perfect model for power generation, but copying Mother Nature is difficult. Although research into solar power has come a long way, sunset still poses a problem. Storing solar-made electricity in batteries can be expensive and inefficient. So to be really successful, the solar industry needs another way to keep power for use at night. Now researchers have found a chemical cocktail that might do the trick.
