Solvent effect in photo-ionic cells

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo

Photo-ionic cells convert solar energy into redox fuels. Unlike in photovoltaic devices where the photo-induced charge transfer reactions occur at an electrode, the photoreaction takes place in one bulk solution of a biphasic liquid-liquid system, and the ...
