This book discusses the basic principles and processes of solar
energy conversion in natural photosynthesis. It then directly
compares them with recent developments and concepts currently being
pursued in artificial photosynthetic systems that are capable of
utilizing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into a
chemical fuel. In this regard, the main focus is on
photoelectrochemical cells, in which semiconducting photoanodes and
-cathodes modified with (electro-) catalysts are used to oxidize
water, produce hydrogen and reduce carbon dioxide in a monolithic
device. The fundamental photochemical and photophysical processes
involved are presented and discussed, along with protection
mechanisms and efficiency calculations for both natural and
artificial photosynthesis. In turn, key parameters that are crucial
for the efficient operation of natural photosynthesis are
identified. Lastly, their validity and applicability in the design
of artificial solar-driven water-splitting systems are examined.
