Photoelectrochemical Solar Conversion Systems: Molecular and Electronic Aspects

Providing new insights into the molecular and electronic processes involved in the conversion of sunlight into chemical products, this book begins with an historical overview and a survey of recent developments in the electrochemistry of semiconductors and spectroscopic techniques. Employing a tutorial organization and balancing coverage of electrochemistry and solar energy conversion, it provides a comprehensive introduction to the science of conversion cells, reviews current issues and potential directions, and covers a wide range of materials from organic to inorganic cells. It includes a color insert for images of photosynthesis.
