Abstract

The key to successful deployment of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting for commercial renewable hydrogen production will be in the identification and development of innovative semiconductor materials systems and devices, likely involving multijunction configurations. Multijunction approaches offer some of the best hope for achieving practical PEC hydrogen production in the near term, but complex materials and interface issues still need to be addressed by the scientific community. This chapter explores the challenges and benefits of large-scale solar water splitting for renewable hydrogen production, with specific focus on the multijunction PEC production pathways. The technical motivation and approach in the R&D of multijunction PEC devices and systems are considered, and examples of progress in laboratory scale prototypes are presented.
