My favorite novel

     Let me introduce my favorite novel. It is "The Woman in the Dunes", written by Abe Kobo.

The chemical energy is stored in the form of hydrocarbons, such as sugars(sucrose, starch, and so on), which are made from carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air and water by using sunlight energy. At the same time, oxygen is often released into the air as one of the by-products.      "Artificial photosynthesis" is, to put it simply, an attempt to reproduce plants' photosynthesis artificially. In other words, any experiments to capture and store the sunlight energy in a solar fuel can be regarded as artificial photosynthesis in a broad sense. Some scientists and engineers expect that, in the future, this technology can solve some global problems with which we are confronted. For example, this technolog
