Solar Conversion and storage

Figure 10.2 Schematic of a photoelectrochemical solar cell combining both solar conversion and storage capabilities, (a) Under illumination (b) in the dark. From licht et al. (1987).

In Fig. 9 is presented an operational form of the solar conversion and storage cell described by the Fig. 2 energy diagram. The single cell contains both multiple...

One attractive approach to photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy is photofixation of carbon dioxide to C-1 organic compounds (formic acid, formaldehyde, methanol, and methane). Photoreduction of CO2 to formic acid and formaldehyde has been demonstrated by using n-type Bi2S3 and CdS semiconductor powders (particle size 300 00 mesh) as photoelectrocatalysts in emulsions...
