Three-dimensional imaging performance of photoelectrochemical cells

Abstract

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell produces hydrogen energy using solar energy and an electrochemical reaction. In the hydrogen production process with water decompo-sition, electrons move from the anode to the cathode, and by measuring the current value at this time, the PEC cell can generate hydrogen and function as an image sensor at the same time. Due to the characteristics of the PEC cell that can perform both functions simultaneously, it can be applied as a device that can detect and respond to the sur-rounding environment without the need for an observation system such as a camera. We present the imaging perfor-mance of PEC cells. The effectiveness of the experiment was confirmed by applying the PEC cells to integral imaging, one of the three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques. (c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group
