“…This effect could be exploited by operating in this minimum region. It is important to note that this loss minimum is not observed with Bulter-Volmer/Tafel type kinetics which have been previously used to study electrode substrate distribution 37,38 .…”

“…The gold would be deposited in thin lines in a manner similar to back contacts in the photo-voltaic field. This methodology has received very little attention in the field of photo-electrochemistry (briefly discussed by Farivar 38 and demonstrated by Lee et al 61 ), although this methodology has been previously demonstrated for dye sensitised solar cells 62,63 and thin film solar cell modules 34 . For highly nano-structured photo-anodes, the highly conductive material could come into contact with the electrolyte and hence could be oxidised through participation in electrochemical reaction, thus not many materials would be suitable.…”

“…It simulates the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions [27]. This method has already been used to simulate photo-electrochemical reactors for hydrogen production [28], and other types of fuel cells, such as solid oxide [29] or redox cells [30]. Multiphase problems can also be dealt with in CFD simulations, and they allow bubbles inside a liquid medium to be simulated [31].…”

“…Farivar [13], developed dual chamber photoelectrochemical (PEC) reactor for water splitting systems. He tested different geometries to have a uniform flow with minimum recirculation zones inside the photoreactor chamber, and proved with simulation results that by increasing the current density the hydrogen production rate increases.…”
