Abstract
We illustrate the application of theoretical and experimental modification techniques from the first principles and the atomic scale to enhance the optical activity for the metal oxide semiconductors. This allows their usage as efficient photoelectrodes in solar fuel applications. These fuel cells targeting to produce hydrogen gas and other hydrocarbons as a renewable source of energy using water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction, respectively. We used the well-known perovskites to prove the concept by making a series of physical and chemical adjustments on their structures to control their optical properties. Following these adjustments, we were capable to control the physical and chemical properties of various metal oxide semiconductors to be used as efficient photo electrodes in many solar applications
