Solar Fuel Devices: From Water Splitting to Water Dissociation

This lecture by the instructor covers the topic of solar fuel devices, focusing on the transition from water splitting to water dissociation. The presentation includes research interests such as renewable hydrogen generation, solar hydrogen membranes, and electrochemical CO2 conversion. Various technological pathways for renewable methane generation are discussed, along with demonstrations of solar-driven hydrogen production and methane generation. The lecture also delves into the cost breakdown of photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation and the development of low-cost membranes for solar-hydrogen devices.
