Solar cell powered electrocatalysis is another solar conversion process. It consists of a combination of solar cells and electrocatalytic reactions, and is realized through a two-step energy conversion pathway.
Therefore, it was suitable for application in a solar cell powered electrocatalytic system.
The solar cell powered electrocatalytic reaction is a continuous energy-conversion process, and the overall efficiency of the reaction system depends not only on the high-performance solar cells and electrode thin films, but also on their degree of matching and stability.
These are just examples of the new possibilities offered from a new design in electrocatalysts, with respect to those mostly used up today, and which thus open a new rich scenario in the possibilities for electrocatalytic processes to be a crucial technology to enable the transition to a solar-driven chemistry. Few final comments are necessary.
