Comprehensive Resource for Understanding the Emerging Solar Technologies for Hydrogen Generation via Water Splitting and Carbon-based Fuel Production via CO2 Recycling

Fossil fuel burning is the primary source of carbon in the atmosphere. Due to the realization that it could harm the life in the planet, there has been a surge in research activities focusing on the development of alternative strategies for energy conversion. Fuel generation using solar energy is one of the most promising approaches that has received widespread attention. The fuels produced using sunlight are commonly referred to as "solar fuels." This book provides researchers interested in solar fuel generation a comprehensive understanding of the emerging solar technologies for hydrogen generation via water splitting and carbon-based fuel production via CO2 recycling.

The book presents the fundamental science, technologies, techno-economic analysis, and most importantly, the materials that are being explored in the field of artificial ways of fuel production using solar energy. For the rapid advancement of the field, it is necessary for researchers, particularly for those who are new to the field, to have clear knowledge of various materials studied so far and their performance. For this reason, almost half of the book is dedicated to the discussions on materials and properties. Key topics discussed in the book include:

  • Photocatalytic/photoelectrochemical processes that use semiconductor photocatalysts, including both ceramic and non-ceramic materials
  • Photovoltaic assisted electrochemical processes
  • Solar thermochemical processes
  • Molecular photosynthesis

Researchers and professionals in the fields of energy and materials and closely related science and engineering disciplines could use this book to have a comprehensive understanding of both mainstream solar fuel technologies and those in the developmental stages.
