Research on photoelectrochemical cells went through a frantic period after the oil crisis in 1973, which stimulated a worldwide quest for alternative energy sources.

In an advance that could help photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) play a stronger role within the smart grid, researchers at the University of Texas, Arlington have found a way to store the ...

The photoelectrochemical cell: Sunlight generates a photovoltage in the catalyst-coated solar cell (right), which splits water molecules. Hydrogen is produced at the left electrode, oxygen at the ...

Photoelectrochemical cells are promising tools for the conversion of sunlight into fuel, for example, water into hydrogen, or CO2 into organic molecules. To realize this, ...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells utilize photocathodes and photoanodes to "split" water into hydrogen and oxygen. PEC cells have been primarily studied for the conversion of solar energy into chemical ...

Some call it an 'artificial leaf': instead of the natural Photosystem II complex that green leaves in nature use to split water with sunlight, photoelectrochemical cells, or PEC cells for short ...

A research team has identified the synthesis principle of eco-friendly ternary quantum dots that are harmless to the human ...

Simple, unlovely rust – iron oxide – could potentially hold the key to realizing cheap, effective photoelectrochemical cells which mimic photosynthesis.

High-performance photoelectrochemical cells with MoS2 nanoflakes/TiO2 photoanode on 3D porous carbon spun fabric Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. Journal ...

Sunlight can be used to produce green hydrogen directly from water in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. So far, most systems based on this 'direct approach' have not been energetically competitive.
