Scientists create "mini factory" that can use sunlight to produce drugs

Plant leaves are a bit like nature's power plant, and can convert sunlight through photosynthesis into the energy needed for plants to thrive. Previously inspired by the leaves, scientists have developed "artificial leaves" that can release fuel. According to foreign media reports, a group of researchers from the University of Technology in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, now use a similar system to produce chemicals that will one day enable solar-powered “mini factories” to produce drugs, pesticides or Other chemicals.

The researchers imitated the “light-harvesting” molecules in the leaves and used a luminescent solar collector (LSC) to absorb the sunlight, convert it to a specific wavelength, and then guide the photons to the edge of the device. The researchers created a leaf-like device made of silicone rubber LSC and set up a passage like a leaf vein. When chemicals pass through the channels, high-intensity sunlight can trigger chemical reactions in the channels. Basically, this device can convert one substance entering the channel into another different chemical substance, which can be used as a medicine, fuel or other medicament.

Timothy Noël, who led the study, said: “Using a collector like this means that you can make drugs anywhere, in principle, whether it's antimalarial drugs or paracetamol, etc. All you need is sunlight and this mini "The factory." The researchers said that even on a cloudy day, the LSC material produced in the experiment was 40% more efficient than other similar experiments that did not use the LCS material.
