Artificial photosynthesis (APS) is using light for uphill chemical reactions that converts light energy into chemical energy. It follows the example of natural photosynthesis, but offers a broader choice of materials and components, which can enhance its performance it terms of application conditions, stability, efficiency, and uphill reactions to be carried out. This work presents here first the status of the field, just to focus afterward on the current problems seen at the forefront of the field, as well as discussing some general misunderstandings, which are often repeated in the primary literature. Finally, this perspective article is daring to define some grand challenges, which have to be tackled for the translation of APS into society.
人工光合作用（APS）是利用光来进行上坡化学反应，即将光能转化为化学能。它以自然光合作用为范例，但提供了更广泛的材料和组件选择，这可以在应用条件、稳定性、效率以及要进行的上坡反应方面提高其性能。本文首先介绍该领域的现状，之后将重点关注该领域前沿所面临的当前问题，并讨论一些在初级文献中经常出现的普遍误解。最后，这篇观点文章大胆地定义了一些重大挑战，为了将人工光合作用转化应用于社会，必须应对这些挑战。
