Kinetic Aspects in Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells

  • Chapter
Photoelectrochemistry, Photocatalysis and Photoreactors

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 146))

Abstract

In photoelectrochemical cells the stability of semiconductor electrodes and particles play a dominant role. The stability can be increased by choosing a proper redox system, by using a catalyst or a sensitizer. Basic reactions models are derived and the kinetics discussed in detail.
