To address the issue of insufficient operational voltage of a single photovoltaic device for water-splitting, multiple devices are connected in series or tandem solar cells are employed.
“To address the issue of insufficient operational voltage of a single photovoltaic device for watersplitting, multiple devices are connected in series or tandem solar cells are employed.[164,237]”
From Advances in Blue Energy Fuels: Harvesting Energy from Ocean for Self‐Powered Electrolysis (2025) · cites this paper as [237]
In the paper’s main text (pp. 3829–3831), Table 1 reports a higher open-circuit voltage for a perovskite/Si tandem cell than for the listed single-junction perovskite cells. The paper does not say that a single device’s operational voltage is insufficient for water splitting, or that connecting devices in series or using tandem cells addresses that problem.

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.
