Mathur, P N

An overview is given of each of three processes for dissociating water by visible light by incorporating reactions using photosensitizers. These processes are: photochemical processes using photocatalysts such as compound salts and photosynthetic dyes; photobiochemical processes using natural or synthetic plant chlorophyll, algae, or bacteria; and photoelectrochemical processes using semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO electrodes.
