Features: This book is a comprehensive monograph on photoelectrocatalysis, combining theory and practice. It is divided into ten chapters, primarily including an introduction, theoretical foundations, photoelectrocatalytic reactions and catalysts, quantum photoelectrocatalytic kinetics, photoelectrocatalytic chemistry of organic, inorganic, semiconductor, polymer, and conductive polymer materials, as well as the theory and practice of photoelectrocatalytic energy storage. It provides an in-depth discussion on the definition, research objects, theoretical characteristics, guiding role, catalytic essence, microscopic explanations, synthesis, characterization, and microstructure of various multifunctional materials, the conversion of photoelectrocatalytic solar and other light energies, and the theory and practice of energy storage. It focuses on introducing the principles, characteristics, and practical evaluations of water splitting, CO? fixation, and N? fixation, while also offering predictions and prospects for future applications and developments. This book is suitable for chemistry majors in higher education institutions, especially senior undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and scientific and technical personnel in related fields.
