One can imagine villages in India and Africa soon purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology ”The leaf is like the shape of a poker card but thinnerPlaced in water in a bright sunlight， it could produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, which are stored in a fuel cell to produce electricityThe“artificial leaf”is not a new conceptThe first artificial leaf was developed more than a decade ago by John TtlrnerHowever, it was impractical for wider use，as it was composed of rare，expensive metals and was highly unstable with a lifespan of barely one dayNoceras new leaf overcomes these problemsIt is made of inexpensive materials that are widely available，works under simple conditions and is highly stableLaboratory studies showed that it could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activityThe key to this breakthrough is Noceras recent discovery of several new powerful， inexpensive catalysts，which are able to accelerate the chemical reaction under simple conditionsRight now, Noceras leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leafYet he is optimistic that he can boost the efficiency of the device much higher in the future21Daniel Nocera describes his artificial leaf as promising in_Amaking an artificial plant that can feed itselfBfinding a new kind of catalyst to produce electricityCchanging the sunlight and water into electricity directlyDproviding electricity for the poor family at a low cost22According to the passage, catalysts in the artificial leaf_Aspeed up the process of
