Published at Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews – A systems engineering review on the integration of solar concentrators with photoelectrochemical processes

Abstract: Photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes offer several pathways to decarbonisation, but few studies have demonstrated technology readiness levels (TRLs) beyond 4 and 5. Scaling challenges and the high levelised cost of energy of current PEC processes can be addressed by integrating concentrating solar optics. However, PEC research is primarily focused on materials development and reactor engineering, …
