This project aims to develop a novel, low cost and high performance monolithic photovoltaic-electrochemical (PV-EC) device for clean hydrogen production. This device tailors and integrates low cost and high performance thin film and tandem photovoltaics for water splitting with the aim of achieving high solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency towards 20%. Earth abundant and stable catalysts will be developed in this project to replace noble based catalysts, as well as novel architectures for electrical contacting, feed-through and catalyst integration in PV-EC devices. These innovations offer high performance and the potential for device costs 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than recent world record photoelectrochemical devices.

本项目旨在开发一种新型、低成本、高性能的单片光电化学（PV-EC）清洁制氢装置。该设备定制并集成了低成本和高性能的薄膜和串联光催化剂，用于水分解，目的是实现高达20%的太阳能到氢气的转化效率。该项目将开发地球丰富和稳定的催化剂，以取代贵金属基催化剂，以及用于PV-EC装置中的电接触，馈通和催化剂集成的新型架构。这些创新提供了高性能和潜在的设备成本2至3个数量级低于最近的世界纪录光电化学设备。
