Abstract
The Cover Feature showcases solar-driven photo-electrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic (PC) processes like water splitting, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation, highlighting X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for analyzing atomic and electronic structures. In their Review (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202402001), H. Zhang, X. Sun and co-workers discuss PEC/PC principles, XAS basics, and in-situ methods, revealing structure-activity relationships to boost solar energy conversion efficiency.
