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:
“Truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in any way; its use, noble as it is, has its limits.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“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)
