Traditional photosynthesis is surprisingly inefficient, converting less than 1% of sunlight into energy. New industrial systems are shattering this ceiling:

The hunt for Earth-abundant materials (like cobalt and iron) to replace expensive precious metals like platinum.

The Apollo Project of Energy: Can Synthetic Photosynthesis Finally Scale?

How engineers are plugging living bacteria into solar-powered electrodes to "breathe" CO2 and "exhale" liquid fuels like isopropanol. 2. The Industrial Frontier: From Lab to Plant
