Summary
"The development of a direct, inexpensive, and efficient method for converting solar energy into a portable, clean fuel would allow elimination of the growing problems associated with the ever increasing use of fossil fuels and the reality of their rapid depletion. As the title suggests, Light, Water, Hydrogen: The Solar Generation of Hydrogen by Water Photoelectrolysis, considers the combination of water and light with a suitable semiconductor to achieve a sale, renewable and therefore inexhaustable means for hydrogen generation via the splitting of the water molecule, or photoelectrolysis."--BOOK JACKET.
