Efficient Water‐Splitting Device Based on a Bismuth Vanadate Photoanode and Thin‐Film Silicon Solar Cells
Abstract
A hybrid photovoltaic/photoelectrochemical (PV/PEC) water‐splitting device with a benchmark solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency of 5.2 % under simulated air mass (AM) 1.5 illumination is reported. This cell consists of a gradient‐doped tungsten–bismuth vanadate (W:BiVO 4) photoanode and a thin‐film silicon solar cell. The improvement with respect to an earlier cell that also used gradient‐doped W:BiVO 4 has been achieved by simultaneously introducing a textured substrate to enhance light trapping in the BiVO 4 photoanode and further optimization of the W gradient doping profile in the photoanode. Various PV cells have been studied in combination with this BiVO 4 photoanode, such as an amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H) single junction, an a‐Si:H/a‐Si:H double junction, and an a‐Si:H/nanocrystalline silicon (nc‐Si:H) micromorph junction. The highest conversion efficiency, which is also the record efficiency for metal oxide based water‐splitting devices, is reached for a tandem system consisting of the optimized W:BiVO 4 photoanode and the micromorph (a‐Si:H/nc‐Si:H) cell. This record efficiency is attributed to the increased performance of the BiVO 4 photoanode, which is the limiting factor in this hybrid PEC/PV device, as well as better spectral matching between BiVO 4 and the nc‐Si:H cell.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
