It is no exaggeration to state that the energy crisis is the most serious challenge that we face today. Among the strategies to gain access to reliable, renewable energy, the use of solar energy has clearly emerged as the most viable option. A promising direction in this context is artificial photosynthesis. In this article, we briefly describe the essential features of artificial photosynthesis in comparison with natural photosynthesis and point out the modest success that we have had in splitting water to produce oxygen and hydrogen, specially the latter.Keywords
Hydrogen, Photosynthesis, Solar Energy, Water Splitting.Full Text

When I was very young, I remember people doing balloon experiments in the Indian Institute of Science campus, Bangalore. It was young Sarabhai with Homi Bhabha carrying out cosmic ray experiments. Vikram Sarabhai officially had registered for the Ph D degree of Cambridge University under the supervision of C. V. Raman, but his immediate guide was Homi Bhabha. Though I could not have known him at that time, I got in touch with him in 1961 when he was the President of the Physics Section of the Indian Science Congress. He had invited me to give a talk on Spectroscopy in Chemistry. After that meeting, we became good friends and met each other on different occasions.Full Text
