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.

该项目旨在开发一种新型、低成本、高性能的单片光伏电化学（PV-EC）装置，用于清洁制氢。该设备定制并集成了低成本、高性能的薄膜和串联光伏器件，用于水分解，旨在实现高达 20% 的太阳能到氢气的转换效率。该项目将开发地球上丰富且稳定的催化剂来取代贵金属催化剂，以及用于PV-EC设备中的电接触、馈通和催化剂集成的新颖架构。这些创新提供了高性能，并且设备成本比最近创下世界纪录的光电化学设备低 2 到 3 个数量级。
