Title: Synergy of photocatalysis and fuel cells: A chronological review on efficient designs, potential materials and emerging applications
Abstract: The rising demand of energy and lack of clean water are two major of modern world. Renewable energy sources are the only way out order to provide energy in a sustainable manner for the demands of the society. A renewable energy source which also provide clean water will be of immense interest and that is Photocatalytic Fuel Cells (PFCs) exactly fit in. PFCs hold the to produce electric power with simultaneous photocatalytic of pollutants on exposure to light. Different strategies, conventional Photoelectrochemical cell design, have been upgraded to exploit the advantage of PFCs and to widen their Parallel to the research on design, researchers have put immense effort into developing materials/composites for electrodes their unique properties. The efficient strategies and potential have opened up a new horizon of applications for PFCs. Recent reports reveal this persistently broadening arena which hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide generation, carbon dioxide and metal reduction and even sensor applications. The review reported consolidates all the aspects of various design strategies, and applications of PFCs. The review provides an overall of PFC systems, which possess the potential to be a renewable source of energy with a handful of simultaneous The review is a read to the scientific community and early researchers interested in working on PFC systems.
