摘要
Photosynthesis may be contrived to give H2 and O2. Bio-sytems are complex to work with; semiconductors in contact with electrolytic solutions offer more easily comprehended situations and may give enhanced efficiency of conversion of solar light (when compared with bio-conversion). What is needed are criteria for optimization (i) in respect to solid state factors connected with photoelectrochemical energy conversion; (ii) in respect to the competing side reactions which destroy the electrode materials; and (iii) with respect to the enhancement of conductivity which is often needed. Some quasi-quantitative numbers are derived. © 1979.
