Solar energy technology-5 (artificial photosynthesis)

Artificial photosynthesis based water-splitting hydrogen generation at high efficiency

Water-splitting hydrogen generation technology using solar energy.
A high performance oxide-semiconductor photoelectrode, newly developed, has a multilayered structure.  
A carbonate electrolytic solution of high concentration. 
A multiple of the photoelectrodes are stacked in the electrolytic solution.
The solar energy conversion efficiency achieved is 1.35%, two times of the conventional. March 2012
