Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Energy ((BRIEFSENERGY))

Abstract

The chemical products of PEC water splitting processes are the evolved hydrogen and oxygen gases. Standard experimental methods for detecting and validating the quantity and quality of the product gases are critical. Faradaic efficiencies for the water splitting reaction in the given system can be determined. Three examples of PEC reactors are discussed, including batch, flow, and recirculating batch reactor.
