Photoelectrochemical Water-Splitting using 3C-SiC

Photoelectrochemical Water-Splitting using 3C-SiC

In 1972 Fujishima and Honda conceptualised a photoelectrochemical cell for hydrogen generation via PEC water splitting. Hydrogen as a clean energy carrier provides environmentally friendly energy storage solutions or can fuel certain applications. This idea has since then been further built upon wit...
