This comprehensive book systematically covers the fundamentals in solar energy conversion to
chemicals either fuels or chemical products. It includes natural photosynthesis with emphasis
on artificial processes for solar energy conversion and utilization. The chemical processes of
solar energy conversion via homogeneous and or heterogeneous photocatalysis has been described
with the mechanistic insights. It also consists of reaction systems toward a variety of
applications such as water splitting for hydrogen or oxygen evolution photocatalytic CO2
reduction to fuels and light driven N2 fixation etc. This unique book offers the readers a
broad view of solar energy utilization based on chemical processes and their perspectives for
future sustainability.
