Popis: SSCI-VIDE+ECI2D+MPR; National audience; This poster displays the state-of-the-art of photoelectrochemical tandem cells regarding the development of absorbing materials and optimization of their performance. Contrary to PV technologies, PEC cells require the use of materials that are not only efficient at generating charges but are also photostable in aqueous conditions (often acidic or alkaline) for extended period of times, which drastically limits and complicates the choice of material. In this context, most binary materials fall short in one aspect or another and currently most promising photoelectrodes are composed of multinary semiconductors (oxides, oxynitrides, chalcogenides, phosphides, nitrides). Moreover, I would like to address the most successful strategies to improve PEC performance: nanostructuring, doping and surface modification. Finally, an outlook on future efforts and remaining challenges will be provided.
