Abstract

Reactor and particle design considerations of particle suspension reactors for solar photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Reactors based on particle suspensions for the capture, conversion, storage, and use of solar energy as H 2 are projected to be cost-competitive with fossil fuels. In light of this, this review paper summarizes state-of-the-art particle light absorbers and cocatalysts as suspensions (photocatalysts) that demonstrate visible-light-driven water splitting on the laboratory scale. Also presented are reactor descriptions, theoretical considerations particular to particle suspension reactors, and efficiency and performance characterization metrics. Opportunities for targeted research, analysis, and development of reactor designs are highlighted.
