Can anyone recommend books on artificial photosynthesis?

Artificial photosynthesis is a process that mimics the natural process of photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates. In artificial photosynthesis, scientists use various materials and technologies to achieve the same goal of producing clean energy from sunlight.
Artificial photosynthesis has the potential to provide a sustainable and renewable source of energy, as it uses sunlight to produce clean energy without emitting harmful greenhouse gases. It can also help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Some recommended books on artificial photosynthesis include "Artificial Photosynthesis: From Basic Biology to Industrial Application" by Anthony L. Moore, "Artificial Photosynthesis: From Basic Science to Industrial Application" by Anthony L. Moore and Thomas J. Wydrzynski, and "Artificial Photosynthesis: Solar Splitting of Water to Hydrogen and Oxygen" by Reiner Anwander and Robert Schlögl.
While both processes involve using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and energy-rich molecules, artificial photosynthesis uses man-made materials and technologies instead of living organisms. Additionally, artificial photosynthesis can produce fuels such as hydrogen, whereas natural photosynthesis only produces carbohydrates.
Some challenges in artificial photosynthesis include finding efficient and cost-effective materials, improving the stability and longevity of the systems, and integrating them into existing energy infrastructure. However, there have been advancements in using new materials, such as perovskites, and developing hybrid systems that combine artificial and natural photosynthesis. Additionally, research is ongoing to optimize the efficiency and scalability of artificial photosynthesis technologies.
