Abstract
The simplest method for solar to chemical energy conversion is water splitting using electrochemical cells operated by solar cells. Both two devices have been established and well-studied, however, their coupling is difficult due to the variability of the solar radiation. In this chapter, the coupling technique and efficiency improvement of the combination of the electrochemical cell and solar cell are discussed based on the basic principles of both devices.
