Photoelectrolysis and Photoelectrochemical Catalysis

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 17))

Abstract

Conversion of solar energy into storable chemical energy sustains life on earth and constitutes a scientific problem of fundamental interest which might also have long-term technical importance. The most attractive reaction is the photoinduced evolution of H2 and 02 from water according to the mechanism (n = number of photons)

In part presented as a lecture at the Conference “Fundamental Research Strategy on the Innovative Low-Energy Synthesis through Catalytic and Photo-Assisted Processes,” Tokyo, July 1983.
