Download or read book Semiconductor Photoelectrochemistry written by Yurii Pleskov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-06-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in semiconductor electrochemistry has ex panded rapidly in the past few years spurred on by the search for economic methods for solar energy conversion. Semiconductor electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry is not, however, restricted to this single area of application. Over the same period there have been many interesting and exciting developments in other areas of semiconductor electrochemistry including the use of laser etching, electroreflectance studies and radiation electro chemistry. All of these areas are among those covered by Pleskov and Gurevich in this book. Their text is a com prehensive study of the electrochemistry and photoelec trochemistry of semiconductors and as such should prove a worthy successor to 'Electrochemistry of Semiconductors' by Myamlin and Pleskov which, since its publication in 1967, has established itself as a standard reference text for workers in this field. In editing the English translation of the present text I have at all times attempted to maintain a clear, concise style while at the same time remaining true to the arguments and ideas of the authors. I hope that I have succeeded iP this endeavor and I hope that this book will be welcomed by experts and beginners alike in the expanding area of semiconductor electrochemistry.
Download or read book Photoelectrochemistry and Photovoltaics of Layered Semiconductors written by A. Aruchamy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume aims at bringing together the results of extensive research done during the last fifteen years on the interfacial photoelectronic properties of the inorganic layered semiconducting materials, mainly in relation to solar energy conversion. Significant contributions have been made both on the fundamental aspects of interface characteristics and on the suitability of the layered materials in photoelectrochemical (semiconductor/electrolyte junctions) and in solid state photovoltaic(Schottky and p-n junctions) cells. New insights into the physical and chemical characteristics of the contact surfaces have been gained and many new applications of these materials have been revealed. In particular, the basal plane surface of the layered materials shows low chemical reactivity and specific electronic behaviour with respect to isotropic solids. In electrochemical systems, the inert nature of these surfaces characterized by saturated chemical bonds has been recognized from studies on charge transfer reactions and catalysis. In addition, studies on the role of the d-band electronic transitions and the dynamics of the photogene rated charge carriers in the relative stability of the photoelectrodes of the transition metal dichalcogenides have deepened the understanding of the interfacial photoreactions. Transition metal layered compounds are also recognized as ideal model compounds for the studies Involving surfaces: photoreactions, adsorption phenomena and catalysis, scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy and epitaxial growth of thin films. Recently, quantum size effects have been investigated in layered semiconductor colloids.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Physics and Electrochemistry of Semiconductors written by Maheshwar Sharon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been designed as a result of the author’s teaching experiences; students in the courses came from various disciplines and it was very difficult to prescribe a suitable textbook, not because there are no books on these topics, but because they are either too exhaustive or very elementary. This book, therefore, includes only relevant topics in the fundamentals of the physics of semiconductors and of electrochemistry needed for understanding the intricacy of the subject of photovoltaic solar cells and photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cells. The book provides the basic concepts of semiconductors, p:n junctions, PEC solar cells, electrochemistry of semiconductors, and photochromism. Researchers, engineers and students engaged in researching/teaching PEC cells or knowledge of our sun, its energy, and its distribution to the earth will find essential topics such as the physics of semiconductors, the electrochemistry of semiconductors, p:n junctions, Schottky junctions, the concept of Fermi energy, and photochromism and its industrial applications. "The topics in this book are explained with clear illustration and indispensable terminology. It covers both fundamental and advanced topics in photoelectrochemistry and I believe that the content presented in this monograph will be a resource in the development of both academic and industrial research". —Professor Akira Fujishima, President, Tokyo University of Science, and Director, Photocatalysis International Research Center, Tokyo University of Science, Japan

This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a resurgence of interest in light-induced water splitting as the search for storable carbon neutral energy becomes more urgent. Although the history of the basic idea dates back more than four decades, efficient, economical and stable integrated devices have yet to be realized. In the continuing quest for such devices, the field of photoelectrochemistry is entering a new phase where the extraordinary interdisciplinary of the research and development efforts are opening new avenues. This aspect of current research effort is reflected in the chapters of this book, which encompass present thinking in the various disciplines such as materials science, photo-electrochemistry and interfaces that can contribute to realization of viable solar fuel generators. This book presents a blend of the background science and recent advances in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting, and includes aspects that point towards medium to long term future realization. The content of the book goes beyond the more traditional approaches to the subject by including topics such as novel excitation energy processes that have only been realized so far in advanced photonics. The comprehensive overview of current activities and development horizons provided by the impressive collection of internationally renowned authors therefore represents a unique reflection of current thinking regarding water splitting by light.
