fotoelektroonikalüütilisel

Fotoelektroonikalüütilisel refers to a process that combines photoelectrochemical reactions with electrolysis. In this technique, light energy is used to facilitate or enhance an electrochemical process, which itself involves the use of electricity to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions. Essentially, light absorption by a semiconductor material can generate charge carriers (electrons and holes) that participate in redox reactions at an electrode-electrolyte interface, often reducing the energy input required for the electrolytic process.

This phenomenon is particularly relevant in areas such as water splitting for hydrogen production, CO2 reduction to fuels, and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. By harnessing solar energy, fotoelektroonikalüütilisel aims to create more sustainable and efficient methods for chemical synthesis and environmental remediation. The efficiency of these processes depends on factors like the material's band gap, charge carrier mobility, electrode stability, and electrolyte composition. Research in this field focuses on developing novel semiconductor materials and optimizing reactor designs to maximize solar energy conversion and chemical reaction rates.
