This research group claims that the ruthenium in their solar panels can be recycled. If the ruthenium somehow made its way into the environment and was oxidized it would become highly toxic, so it would be preferable if a more benign element could used in its place. Does anyone have any ideas for the substitution of Ru? This technology, even with the problem of Ru toxicity, seems very promissing.

The Consortium for Artificial Photo-synthesis carries out integrated, basic research on the common goal of hydrogen production from the renewable resources solar energy and water. The Consortium was started in 1994 and is a bottom-up initiative that brings together leading Swedish groups with broad multi-disciplinary expertise, spanning from molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry to organometallic and physical chemistry. The vision is to develop novel routes for hydrogen production from solar energy and water.
