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:
“I narrowly watched his motions, and listened attentively to his observations, for we had employed an Indian mainly that I might have an opportunity to study his ways.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
