New Perspectives and a Review of Progress

This final chapter reviews a range of topics that could advance the field of lightinduced energy conversion, in particular, of photoelectrochemical approaches, beyond current research and development activities. This compilation represents a subjective view with data and results considered from the fields of photonics, electronics, electrochemistry and life sciences. Our view of the relevance of these topics to the content of this book is given in short notes, and suggestions are outlined about how to incorporate the concepts and findings into the next generation of solar fuel generating structures and devices. The chapter concludes with a brief survey of progress towards the ultimate goal of generating solar fuels.
