Klappentext In this book, expert authors describe advanced solar photon conversion approaches that promise highly efficient photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical cells with sophisticated architectures on the one hand, and plastic photovoltaic coatings that are inexpensive enough to be disposable on the other. Their leitmotifs include light-induced exciton generation, junction architectures that lead to efficient exciton dissociation, and charge collection by percolation through mesoscale phases. Photocatalysis is closely related to photoelectrochemistry, and the fundamentals of both disciplines are covered in this volume. Zusammenfassung Man is attempting to achieve the ambition of making a leaf - a supramolecular or microstructured assembly that can produce a fuel or electric power in a reaction driven by sunlight. This work describes photoconversion technologies such as water splitting! carbon dioxide fixation and electrical power production in appropriately designed devices.
