Hydrogen production from solar light energy by photovoltaic water electrolysis

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: In order to suppress CO2 emission, alternative energy sources to fossil fuels need to be established. We have been studying hydrogen production from solar light energy. Toward future practical use, the process must be characterized by high conversion efficiency and low cost. We have investigated the water electrolysis system using a solar cell with catalytic electrodes. An amorphous silicon solar cell (a-Si:H/c-Si) and the hydrogen and oxygen evolution electrodes of Co-Mo and Fe-Ni-O were utilized. We used the facile deposition technique of sputtering to fabricate the electrodes and the solar cell. The overview of our recent results in this subject is presented.
