description

Photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) couples electrochemical methods with photocatalysis (PC) to enhance the separation of the photoproduced electron and hole pairs at semiconductor active surface, thus increasing the photocatalytic efficiency. PEC technology is considered one of the most promising method for processes as water treatment, fuel generation, and PEC sensing. This chapter try to link fundamental research and practical applications in photoelectrochemical engineering including reactors design strategies in different scales.
