Improvements relating to the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy

摘要

Hydrogen and oxygen produced from splitting the water with exchanged zeolites (preferably titanium exchanged zeolites) acting as a catalyst immersed in water in the presence of solar energy or other visible radiation is used for the synthesis of chemical products and the process therefore serves as a method of converting solar energy into chemical energy. Possible processes use powdered coal, nitrogen and carbon oxides as starting materials for reaction with the products of water splitting.
