Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient solar water splitting by enhanced charge separation in a bismuth vanadate-silicon tandem photoelectrode
Fatwa F. Abdi,Lihao Han,Arno H. M. Smets,Miro Zeman,Bernard Dam,Roel van de Krol,Roel van de Krol +6 more
TL;DR: By combining this state-of-the-art photoanode with an earth-abundant cobalt phosphate water-oxidation catalyst and a double- or single-junction amorphous Si solar cell in a tandem configuration, stable short-circuit water-splitting photocurrents of ~4 and 3 mA cm(-2) are achieved under 1 sun illumination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmonic Light Trapping in Thin-film Silicon Solar Cells with Improved Self-Assembled Silver Nanoparticles
TL;DR: It is demonstrated experimentally that a back reflector with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles can provide light-trapping performance comparable to state-of-the-art random textures in n-i-p amorphous silicon solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar photovoltaics is ready to power a sustainable future
Marta Victoria,Nancy M. Haegel,Ian Marius Peters,Ronald A. Sinton,Arnulf Jäger-Waldau,Carlos del Cañizo,Christian Breyer,Matthew Stocks,Andrew Blakers,Izumi Kaizuka,Keiichi Komoto,Arno H. M. Smets +11 more
TL;DR: The factors that lie behind the historical cost reductions of solar PV are reviewed and innovations in the pipeline are identified that could contribute to maintaining a high learning rate, which will be crucial to remain in a decarbonization path compatible with the Paris Agreement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Water‐Splitting Device Based on a Bismuth Vanadate Photoanode and Thin‐Film Silicon Solar Cells

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of plasmonic silver island films in thin-film silicon solar cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a common self-assembly technique to fabricate a range of silver island films on transparent substrates and measure their reflectance and transmittance for visible and near infrared light.
