Demonstration of energy storage via material production in diatoms algae

This will be a demonstration of energy productionstorage related to diatoms algae Light collection by photosynthetic microorganisms can be used not only to store and produce energy but also to produce materials This is the case of diatoms microalgae which as the output of the photosynthetic metabolism are able to produce nanostructured biosilica that have many interesting applications as material for photonics and biomedicine The material will be explored in energy storage applications
