Abstract:
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are essential for solar energy conversion, addressing critical energy and environmental issues. However, the low efficiency in utilizing photogenerated charge carriers significantly limits overall energy conversion. Consequently, there is a growing focus on developing strategies to enhance photoelectrode performance. This review systematically explores recent advancements in PEC system modifications, spanning from atomic and nanoscopic levels to configuration engineering. We delve into the relationships between PEC structures, intrinsic properties, kinetics of photogenerated charge carriers, and their utilization. Additionally, we propose future directions and perspectives for developing more efficient PEC systems, offering valuable insights into potential innovations in the field.
