Provided is an artificial-photosynthesis array configured of artificial-photosynthesis modules which have been arranged in one or more rows and which receive light and decompose a supplied aqueous electrolyte solution to thereby obtain hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.

The electrolytic chambers for hydrogen and electrolytic chambers for oxygen of the artificial-photosynthesis modules are alternately connected so that the electrolytic chamber for hydrogen of each artificial-photosynthesis module is connected to the electrolytic chamber for oxygen of another module and the electrolytic chamber for oxygen of each artificial-photosynthesis module is connected to the electrolytic chamber for hydrogen of another module.
摘要:
Important components of direct solar based nanowire enabled chemical processing and electrochemical systems are a high efficiency and highly stable photocathode and 2-photon dual electrodes. The former enables photo-excited electrons that lead to hydrogen generation whereas the later with complementary energy bandgap photoanode and photocathode enables high efficiency, unassisted solar-driven water splitting. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to leverage the high surface areas and self-contained conversion of direct solar illuminated hydrogen generation from such nanowires with multiple junctions for broad solar spectrum absorption by providing monolithically integrated multi-junction photocathodes. It would be further beneficial to provide nanowire based dual-photoelectrode systems that together with a parallel illumination scheme, can fundamentally address these critical challenges. It would be further beneficial for these nanowire based dual-photoelectrode systems to exploit a semiconductor material family that can be tuned across the solar spectrum, can be doped both p-type and n-type and supported large current conduction.
