ABSTRACT:
A device for the simultaneous conversion of light energy into electrical energy and thermal energy utilizing a liquid-junction semiconductor photocell (PEC) utilizing a novel photoactive true solid/solid solution semiconductor mixed metal oxide material electrode so as to adjust the band gap and/or optical response properties of the electrode to be more closely attuned to the major output portion of the solar spectrum as well as lowering the cost of production and being environmentally sound.
