Photoelectrochemistry is the study of the interaction of light with electrochemical systems. It is active domain of investigation which combines photochemical and electrochemical methods for the study of the oxidation-reduction chemistry of the ground or excited states of molecules or ions.[1]. One of the pioneers of this field of electrochemistry was the german electrochemist Heinz Gerischer.
