  • Method of making n-silicon electrodes
    Patent number: 4734168
    Abstract: The photoelectrolysis of water by solar radiation to produce hydrogen and oxygen is achieved using semiconductor electrodes. The cell comprises a p-silicon wafer treated with catalyst as photocathode and metal doped n-silicon wafer as photoanode. The cell is operated at a small bias potential.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 1984
    Date of Patent: March 29, 1988
    Assignee: Texas A & M University
    Inventors: John O'M. Bockris, Marek Szklarczyk, Aliasgar Q. Contractor
