    Summary:
    A new sunlight-powered material can convert visible light into higher-energy UV light,
    overcoming a challenge that has frustrated scientists for years.
    The breakthrough could enable cleaner air purification, solar-driven chemistry,
    and advanced manufacturing technologies using nothing more than natural sunlight.

    Nothing new there.

    You can use a UV LED powered by a photovoltaic source. You
    could even put them on the same chip.
