Summary: Proton pumps do not exist outside the context of differences in the energy of photons that link subatomic particles from the creation of atoms to all biodiversity. Simply put, pseudoscientists failed to linking the creation of sunlight and microRNA biogenesis to mitochondrial bioenergentics and all biophysically constrained biodiversity via Darwin’s “conditions of life.”
UV-Light-Driven Oxygen Pumping in a High-Temperature Solid Oxide Photoelectrochemical Cell
Reported as: Chemically storing solar power
Nature shows us how it is done: Plants can absorb sunlight and store its energy chemically. Imitating this on large industrial scale, however, is difficult. Photovoltaics convert sunlight to electricity, but at high temperatures, the efficiency of solar cells decreases. Electrical energy can be used to produce hydrogen, which can then be stored – but the energy efficiency of this process is limited.

Natural photosynthesis stores sunlight in chemical energy carriers, but it has not evolved for the efficient synthesis of fuels, such as H2.
The complaint that this ability did not evolve for the efficient synthesis of fuels, such as H2 is an example of human idiocy. The energy-efficient synthesis of H2 as fuel requires a link from the creation of sunlight to biophysically constrained viral latency. The link prevents genomic entropy.
For example, the water-splitting ability of sunlight links the creation of anti-entropic virucidal energy from hydrogen atom transfer in DNA base pairs to the microRNA-mediated hydrophobicity of supercoiled DNA, which protects all organized genomes from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA that links mutations to all pathology.

Overview of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics (6/1/2018)
The prevalent “chemical coupling hypothesis” of energy conservation in oxidative phosphorylation was challenged and replaced by the “chemiosmotic hypothesis” originally formulated in the 1960s by Mitchell and later substantiated and extended to energy conservation in bacteria and chloroplasts, besides mitochondria, with clear-cut identification of molecular proton pumps. After identification of most reactive mechanisms, emphasis has been directed to structure resolution of molecular complex clusters, e. g., cytochrome c oxidase, complex III, complex II, ATP synthase, photosystem I, photosynthetic water-splitting center, and energy collecting antennae of several photosynthetic systems. Modern trends concern to the reactivity of radical and other active species in association with bioenergetic activities.
Proton pumps do not exist outside the context of differences in the energy of photons that link subatomic particles from the creation of atoms to all biodiversity. The overwhelming obfuscation in books like this (above) prevents all pseudoscientists from linking the creation of sunlight and microRNA biogenesis to mitochondrial bioenergentics.
