Yes, as it stands scientist have been able to reduce photosynthesis to it's two half reactions (reduction and oxidation reactions, better known as redoes) and complete the light-dependent reactions independently, through photo-electrolysis. A replicator for the Calvin-Benson Cycle (light-independent reactions, which consist of turning water, carbon dioxide and sunlight into carbohydrates -usually glucose- through the use of Adenosine Triphosphate -ATP- and a few other energy producing compounds), however, has yet to be created, there are many issues with the photo-catalyst , but scientist (many are at/from MIT) are attempting to create the catalyst.
