摘要
The issue of photoelectrode stability, while simultaneously maintaining efficient operation in aqueous solutions, is addressed for energy converting half cells and complete photoelectrocatalytic structures. The historical development of stability concepts, their realization and recent advances are described. Examples are presented that span the time from the inception of photoelectrochemical energy conversion to present day's renewed interest in storable solar energy. The application of (photo) corrosion processes for in-situ synthesis of protective coatings is described and chemical and electronic analyses of the interphases formed are given. Future development and innovation routes will be discussed. (C) 2014 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
