What Is the Role of Catalysis in Solar Energy Conversion?
In [photovoltaic cells](), catalysts are used to optimize the conversion of sunlight into electricity. [Photoelectrochemical cells](), for instance, use catalysts to improve the efficiency of water splitting, producing hydrogen that can be used in fuel cells. Catalysts also play a role in [dye-sensitized solar cells](), where they help in the regeneration of the dye molecules.
