Quantum photoelectrochemistry is the investigation of the quantum mechanical nature of photoelectrochemistry , the subfield of the study of physical chemistry related to the interaction of light with electrochemical systems, typically through the application of quantum chemical calculations . [1] Quantum photoelectrochemistry provides an expansion of quantum electrochemistry to processes involving interaction with light ( photons ). It therefore also includes essential elements of photochemistry. Key aspects of quantum photoelectrochemistry are calculations of optical excitations, photoinduced electron and energy transfer processes, excited state evolution, and nanoscaleenergy conversion systems. [2]
Quantum photoelectrochemistry in particular provides fundamental insight into light-harvesting and photoinduced electro-optical processes in several emerging solar energy conversiontechnologies for generating electricity (photovoltaics) and solar fuels. [3] Examples of such applications where quantum photoelectrochemistry provides insight into fundamental processes include photoelectrochemical cells , [4] [5] semiconductor photochemistry, [6] as well as light-driven electrocatalysis in general, and artificial photosynthesis in particular. [7]
Quantum photoelectrochemistry deriving their year active line of current research, with Several publications Appearing in recent years That relates to Several different kinds of materials and processes, Including complex light-harvesting , [8] light-harvesting polymers , [9] as well as nanocrystalline semiconductor materials.
