This review is provided a detailed overview of the synthesis, properties and applications of
nanoparticles (NPs) exist in different forms. NPs are tiny materials having size ranges from 1 …

The sharp increase of research passion in the new-generation solar cells in recent years
has resulted in a new trend in combining multiple types of energy devices in a single device …

Although much effort has been devoted to improving photoelectrochemical water splitting of
hematite (α-Fe2O3) due to its high theoretical solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of …

Climate change and global energy demands motivate the search for sustainable
transformations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to storable liquid fuels. Photocatalysis is a pathway …

All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water
oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that …

Rising atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves raise
serious concerns about the ensuing effects on the global climate and future energy supply …

Although justly considered as a cumbersome component in artificial photosystems, these
simple molecules are a “necessary evil” to drive photo-induced reactions aiming at …

Artificial photosynthesis—reduction of CO2 into chemicals and fuels with water oxidation in
the presence of sunlight as the energy source—mimics natural photosynthesis in green …

Electrons are the workhorses of solar energy conversion. Conversion of the energy of light to
electricity in photovoltaics, or to energy-rich molecules (solar fuel) through photocatalytic …

The dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) integrates high bandgap,
nanoparticle oxide semiconductors with the light-absorbing and catalytic properties of …
