ABSTRACT
The increasing demands for energy and growing concerns about
air pollution and global warming have called for intense research
on energy conversion from alternative energy sources. Sustainable
and renewable energy resources are being intensively pursued
owing to the diminishing supply of fossil fuels and climate change.
Sunlight, being an abundant and easily available energy resource,
possesses great potential in driving environmentally benign organic
transformations. Solar energy conversion systems such as solar cells
and photocatalysis are considered promising methods for effective
and practical technologies.
