Abstract

Solar-assisted water electrolysis is a promising technology for storing the energy of incident solar irradiation into hydrogen as a fuel. Here, an integrated continuous flow electrochemical reactor coupled to a monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell is demonstrated that provides light-driven electrochemical solar-to-hydrogen conversion with an energy conversion efficiency exceeding 21% at 1-Sun equivalent light intensity and stable operation during three simulated day-night cycles.
