Photoelectrochemical Solar Fuels: What’s Next?

Abstract

Figure 1. Abstract illustration of a PEC cell. Text-to-image generation from Microsoft Bing image creator was used, in part, to create this image. Figure 2. Simplified schematics of some typical semiconductor electrode architectures: (a) classic n-type semiconductor photoanode, (b) cocatalyst decorated photoanode, (c) a protected photoelectrode with a wide band gap semiconductor overlayer, and (d) a heterojunction photoanode. Electrode structures with continuous metal overlayers (with a work function Φ_M that controls the band bending/photopotential in the semiconductor) are also shown: (e) Schottky junction-biased electrode and (f) PV-biased electrode.
