Published at Applied Energy – An efficient ordered conversion system for hydrogen and electricity cogeneration driven by concentrated solar energy

Abstract Efficient utilization of full-spectrum solar photons is significant for improving the efficiency of solar energy conversion and thus alleviating energy shortage. In this work, a novel concentrated ordered conversion system based on a parabolic trough collector (PTC) that couples photocatalysis and Rankine cycle for hydrogen and electricity cogeneration to more efficiently use the full-spectrum …
