Abstract

One of the most crucial issues of climate protection in the near future is the satisfaction of our continuously increasing energy demand. Solar radiation offers a reasonable possibility, being the biggest source of renewable and pure energy. In this subchapter, the most relevant types of photocatalytic systems will be described, which are driven by sunlight in the ultraviolet-visible range, producing environmentally friendly fuels such as hydrogen.
