Due to the symbiotic combination of photochemical and electrochemical processes, photoelectrochemical reactions lead to distinct reaction pathways and resulting products. This method, facilitated by nanomaterials, is widely employed to harness sunlight for the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks. This comprehensive book elucidates the fundamental principles of photoelectrochemistry, along with their practical applications in the generation of solar fuels from water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen as feedstocks. It also includes standardized methodologies and benchmarks for fuel production, encompassing the current state-of-the-art in nanocatalysts and their mechanisms of action. This book: Delves into the fundamentals and real-world applications of photoelectrochemistry in fuel generation Examines the basic theory and well-known catalysts, as well as the optimal conditions and processes for fuel generation in each chapter Covers standard methodologies, processes, and limitations for large-scale applications Focuses on sustainable fuel production from renewable energy and resources This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in the fields of chemical, energy, and materials engineering.
