This book describes the hydrogen fuel generation from water via photoelectrochemical process. It elaborates the theory and fundamental concepts of photoelectrochemistry to understand the photoelectrochemical process for water splitting to generate hydrogen fuel. The book further deliberates about the hydrogen as a futuristic chemical fuel to store solar energy in the form of chemical bonds and also as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. The book establishes the need for hydrogen fuel and discusses the standards and practices used for solar driven photoelectrochemical water splitting. It also discusses the current and future status of the nanomaterials as efficient photoelectrodes for solar photoelectrochemical water splitting. The book will be of interest to the researchers, students, faculty, scientists, engineers, and technologists working in the domain of material science, energy harvesting, energy conversion, photo electrochemistry, nanomaterials for photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell, etc.



Dr. Praveen Kumar is working as an Assistant Professor at the Indian Association for Cultivation of Sciences (IACS), Kolkata and also a Chair of Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) India Chapter funded by the European Commission. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, in 2011, followed by the postdoctoral studies at ISOM, UPM Madrid. He is recipient of several recognized awards and fellowships, few of them are DAE Young Achiever Award (2019), BRICS Young Scientist Award (2017), Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (2012), INSPIRE Faculty Award (2013), 08 Best oral/poster awards and Gold Medal in M.Sc. (Physics) From Rajasthan University (2003). Dr. Kumar's research contribution covers a broad spectrum of materials synthesis including III-V semiconductors, oxides, sulphides, carbon nanostructures, metal/semiconductor interfaces, etc, for LED emitters & solar cells, photoelectrodes, broad-band and self-powered photodetectors, and next-generation sensors applications. He has authored/edited 3 books, 81 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, more than 55 in conference proceedings, and delivered around 42 invited/oral talks at various conferences/institutes around the globe.
