In an informal outline, sometimes called a scratch outline, the writer brainstorms to develop a list of topics, which are then put into some order. The following informal outline might serve as the basis of a short theoretical report for a review of the current state of photoelectric conversion chemistry.
Title: Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Semiconductor-Based Photoelectric Cells Introduction: Converting solar to chemical energy Absorption of light: Optimizing efficiency Energetics for photoredox processes Durability of semiconductor electrodes Kinetics for fuel-forming redox reactions Examples of semiconductor-based photochemical processes --Photoelectrolysis of H2O (SrTiO3-based cell) --Photooxidation of Cl- (MY2) --Photoreduction of water to H2 --Reduction of CO3H- to formate
