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 think that for once the Sharp’s rifles and the revolvers were employed in a righteous cause.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“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)
