Given the backdrop of intense interest and widespread discussion on the
prospects of a hydrogen energy economy, this book aims to provide an
authoritative and up-to-date scientific account of hydrogen generation
using solar energy and renewable sources such as water. While the
technological and economic aspects of solar hydrogen generation are
evolving, the scientific principles underlying various solar-assisted
water splitting schemes already have a firm footing. This book aims to
expose a broad-based audience to these principles. This book spans the
disciplines of solar energy conversion, electrochemistry,
photochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, materials chemistry, device
physics/engineering, and biology.
