Employed Research Techniques
Research in artificial photosynthesis is necessarily a multidisciplinary field, requiring a multitude of different expertise. Some techniques employed in making and investigating catalysts and solar cells include:
- Organic and inorganic chemical synthesis.
- Electrochemistry methods, such as photoelectrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry, and bulk electrolysis.
- Spectroscopic methods:
- fast techniques, such as time-resolved spectroscopy and ultrafast laser spectroscopy;
- magnetic resonance spectroscopies, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance;
- X-ray absorption methods, such as EXAFS.
- Crystallography.
- Molecular biology, microbiology and synthetic biology methodologies.

Famous quotes containing the words employed, research and/or techniques:
“Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.”
—Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
