“…The author indicated that CO 2 is converted to formic acid, methanol, and formaldehyde as products when subjected to photoelectrocatalysis on a GaP electrode. Similar products have also been obtained by other authors [183,188,196]. However, the process required 16 h of reduction to reach 60 % of methanol formation.…”

“…The first work dealing with CO 2 reduction by photoelectrocatalysis was reported by Halmman in 1978 Photocatalysis and electrocatalysis results were also presented in the paper, but different semiconductors were used for each - [195] GaAs single crystal HCOOH, H 2 CO, CH 3 OH Studies of temperature influence were carried out ranging from 20 to 80°C 0.2 [196] Si; polyaniline-Si HCOOH, H 2 CO The work questions the necessity of metals ions on the electrode for CO 2 reduction 4.7 and 3.3 [191] Re(CO) 3 (v-bpy)Cl; WSe 2 CO The study showed the use of modified metallic and semiconducting electrodes 95 3.6 [197] CdTe [190]. The author indicated that CO 2 is converted to formic acid, methanol, and formaldehyde as products when subjected to photoelectrocatalysis on a GaP electrode.…”

The great versatility of semiconductor materials and the possibility of generation of electrons, holes, hydroxyl radicals, and/or superoxide radicals have increased the applicability of photoelectrocatalysis dramatically in the contemporary world. Photoelectrocatalysis takes advantage of the heterogeneous photocatalytic process by applying a biased potential on a photoelectrode in which the catalyst is supported. This configuration allows more effectiveness of the separation of photogenerated charges due to light irradiation with energy being higher compared to that of the band gap energy of the semiconductor, which thereby leads to an increase in the lifetime of the electron-hole pairs. This work presents a compiled and critical review of photoelectrocatalysis, trends and future prospects of the technique applied in environmental protection studies, hydrogen generation, and water disinfection. Special attention will be focused on the applications of TiO 2 and the production of nanometric morphologies with a great improvement in the photocatalyst properties useful for the degradation of organic pollutants, the reduction of inorganic contaminants, the conversion of CO 2 , microorganism inactivation, and water splitting for hydrogen generation.

This review focuses on the use of inorganic oxide semiconductors for the photoassisted generation of hydrogen from water. Representative studies spanning approximately three decades are included in this review. The topics covered include a discussion of the types of water photosplitting approaches, an ideal photoelectrolysis system, an examination of why oxide semiconductors are attractive for this application, a review of both classical and more recent studies on titanium dioxide, tungsten trioxide, and other binary metal oxides, perovskites and other ternary oxides, tantalates and niobates, miscellaneous multinary oxides, semiconductor alloys and mixed semiconductor composites, and twin-photosystem configurations for water splitting.

“…Zafrir et a1. 96 examined CO2 reduction at p-GaAs in the presence of the vanadium redox couple V(II)/V(III) to overcome the problem of corrosion of the electrode, because p-Si and p-InP were successfully stabilized by introduction of the redox couple. 98 Since a V(II)/V(I1I) chloride solution has a violet to blue color, some of the incident light was absorbed by the solution.…”
