Development of separate-type Pt-free photofuel cells based on visible-light responsive TiO2 photoanode†
Abstract
Development of efficient Pt-free photofuel cells employing two different electrolytes containing various biomass derivatives and an I3−/I− redox solution for the anode and cathode sides, respectively, is described. These new, separate-type photofuel cells exhibit good photoelectrochemical performance under simulated solar-light irradiation.
