Abstract

The photolytic hydrogen generation using sunlight attracts attention as a next generation energy technology. A key of this technology is a selection of materials for the photolysis and SiC is one of the candidate materials for this application. The conversion efficiency from the solar to the hydrogen energy would be affected by the carrier lifetime in SiC. Therefore, in this study, we measured carrier lifetimes in SiC and compared them with photocurrents in electrolytes that is directly correlated to the conversion efficiency.
