Abstract

In this contribution, photoelectrochemical (PEC) energy conversion processes, systems, and applications are introduced with details ranging from basics to advanced applications. PEC water splitting and PEC measurements are specifically described with some fundamental background information. The theory behind the PEC measurements is extensively presented for evaluation and comparison purposes. The types of materials used in PEC hydrogen production reactors, such as membranes and photoelectrodes, are described and classified based on various criteria. Furthermore, a case study is included to conduct the analysis and performance assessment for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a PEC hydrogen production cell.
