Abstract

A brief review of the physical principles which govern the operation of metal/electrolyte/semiconductor cells and photocells is presented. In particular, the differences between this system and the well understood metal/semiconductor system are emphasized. The difficulties encountered in the utilization of real photoelectrochemical cells for the conversion of solar energy into electrical and chemical energy, are outlined, and new directions which appear to overcome these difficulties are mentioned.
