Abstract

An apparatus and methods for improvement of photoelectrolysis and fuel cells are disclosed. The aforesaid apparatus comprises (a) a container filled by a compound to be electrolyzed; (b) photocatalytic electrodes positioned in the container; the electrodes are connectable to a source of voltage; and (c) illuminating means adapted to provide illumination to the electrodes. The electrodes are coated with metal nanoparticles operable for localized surface plasmon resonance induced by the illumination being incident onto electrolysis electrode surfaces coated with metal nanoparticles.
