Oxide Semiconductors for Solar-to-Chemical Energy Conversion

ISBN: 9783038357070 出版年：2016 页码：154 Trans Tech Publications Ltd

This volume is focused on the materials and devices for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. The introductory paper, by alim and bak, considers the basic concepts of the light-induced water oxidation by oxide semiconductors. This paper is concentrated on the photoreactivity of metal oxides, such as tio2, with water and the related charge transfer during partial and total oxidation. The second paper of yang et al provides an overview on the performance of tio2 as photoanode in photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The paper of nasir et al considers application of bivo4 as photoelectrode for the generation of solar hydrogen fuel using water as the raw material. The work of pastuovic et al is a treatise on the application of accelerator-based nuclear techniques in the characterisation of oxide semiconductors for solar energy conversion. This volume is addressed to those interested in the progress of research in oxide materials for solar energy conversion.
