Tremendous research is taking place to make photoelectrochemical (PEC)
water splitting technology a reality. Development of high performance
PEC systems requires an understanding of the theory to design novel
materials with attractive band gaps and stability. Focusing on theory
and systems analysis, Advances in Photoelectrochemical Water
Splitting provides an up-to-date review of this exciting research
landscape.
The book starts by addressing the challenges of water splitting followed
by chapters on the theoretical design of PEC materials and their
computational screening. The book then explores advances in identifying
reaction intermediates in PEC materials as well as developments in
solution processed photoelectrodes, photocatalyst sheets, and bipolar
membranes. The final part of the book focuses on systems analysis, which
lays out a roadmap of where researchers hope the fundamental research
will lead us.
Edited by world experts in the field of solar fuels, the book provides a
comprehensive overview of photoelectrochemical water splitting, from
theoretical aspects to systems analysis, for the energy research
community.
