原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
ABSTRACT Solar‐driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) production of chemical fuels such as hydrogen is a viable solution to address climate neutrality objectives. Development of a monolithic tandem PEC device consisting of ideal bandgap absorbers is of paramount importance to realize efficient artificial photosynthesis systems. Herein, we report monolithic integration of Sb 2 S 3 on textured silicon to realize a completely inorganic and fully vacuum processed multilayer PEC device with Ag/Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)/Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer (HIT) Si/ITO/Au/Sb 2 S 3 /NiO x architecture. Photoelectron spectroscopy and computational analysis show a staggered band alignment between Si and Sb 2 S 3 , emulating Z‐scheme charge transfer mechanism. We demonstrate a high performing and stable Sb 2 S 3 ‐Si monolithic tandem for PEC hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) coupled to iodide oxidation reaction (IOR). Under AM 1.5G illumination, the Sb 2 S 3 ‐Si monolithic tandem device achieves unassisted photocurrent density of 4.38 mA cm − 2 with faradaic efficiency of 97% for hydrogen, while maintaining ∼90% of its initial performance after 10 h of continuous operation. These results set a new benchmark for all inorganic monolithic tandems for efficient and sustainable solar‐to‐chemical conversion. This work unlocks the pathway for artificial photosynthesis systems comprising ideal bandgap photo absorbers.
