This talk seeks to explore and expand upon, some of the key limitations of standard electrochemical polarization. By exploiting the diode behavior inherent to semiconductor-liquid junctions, it is suggested that suitably-configured photoelectrochemical devices can permit the functionally independent control of current and potential across a photoelectrochemical cell, with changes to light illumination on a current-limiting photoanode being used to gate current flow through a two-electrode cell at some arbitrary, full cell potential. This opens the possibility of improved control over reactions occurring at electrified interfaces.
