The development of solar energy converting semiconductor-liquid junction systems that are based on self-organization phenomena is reviewed. An advanced theoretical description of these processes is outlined and the experimental progress from the investigation of current oscillations to the fabrication of nanoporous templates for site selective metal deposition is described. The concept of nanoemitter solar cells, resulting from the fundamental investigations of oscillatory phenomena at the semiconductor-electrolyte interface, is introduced. Experimental realization of the concept that enables operation in, both, the photovoltaic and the photoelectrocatalytic mode is presented. The possibility for wider (scale-up) applications of the low temperature fabrication method is discussed and future prospects for the development of this type of solar energy converters are outlined.
