Solar Energy Conversion and Storage cover

Solar Energy Conversion and Storage: Photochemical Modes showcases the latest advances in solar cell technology while offering valuable insight into the future of solar energy conversion and storage. Focusing on photochemical methods of converting and/or storing light energy in the form of electrical or chemical energy, the book:

  • Describes various types of solar cells, including photovoltaic cells, photogalvanic cells, photoelectrochemical cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells
  • Covers the photogeneration of hydrogen, photoreduction of carbon dioxide, and artificial/mimicking photosynthesis
  • Discusses the generation of electricity from solar cells, as well as methods for storing solar energy in the form of chemical energy
  • Highlights existing photochemical methods of solar energy conversion and storage
  • Explores emerging trends such as the use of nanoparticles

Solar Energy Conversion and Storage: Photochemical Modes provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference for graduate students, researchers, and engineers alike.
