Abstract
A system comprising a photoelectro-chemical cell for converting light into electrical energy in combination with cooling means for cooling the cell. A method for generating electrical energy with a photoelectro-chemical cell comprising the step of cooling the cell. A method of reducing concentration polarization in photoelectro-chemical cells comprising at least two electrodes and an electrolyte. The method comprises the step of circulating the electrolyte by means of a thermosyphon.
