First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A light energy conversion element comprising: a light energy conversion layer containing BaBi 2 S 4 having a hexagonal crystal structure. 2 . A device, comprising: a light energy conversion element according to claim 1 ; a first electrode connected electrically to the light energy conversion element; and a second electrode connected electrically to the light energy conversion element, wherein the light energy conversion element is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode. 3 . A device, comprising: a light energy conversion element according to claim 1 ; an electrode connected electrically to the light energy conversion element; a liquid; and a container containing the light energy conversion element, the electrode, and the liquid. 4 . A method for converting light into electric energy, the method comprising: irradiating a light energy conversion layer containing BaBi 2 S 4 having a hexagonal crystal structure with light to take out the electric energy from a first electrode and a second electrode, both of which are electrically connected to the light energy conversion layer. 5 . A method for generating hydrogen by splitting a water molecule with light, the method comprising: irradiating a light energy conversion layer containing BaBi 2 S 4 having a hexagonal crystal structure with light to generate hydrogen on a surface of the light energy conversion layer or on a surface of an electrode connected electrically to the light energy conversion layer.
