Perovskite‐Solar‐Cell‐Powered Integrated Fuel Conversion and Energy‐Storage Devices

Abstract Metal halide hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received considerable attention over the past decade owing to their potential for low‐cost, solution‐processable, earth‐abundant, and high‐performance superiority, increasing power conversion efficiencies of up to 25.7%. Solar energy conversion into electricity is highly efficient and sustainable, but direct utilization, storage, and poor energy diversity are difficult to achieve, resulting in a potential waste of resources. Considering its convenience and feasibility, converting solar energy into chemical fuels is regarded as a promising pathway for boosting energy diversity and expanding its utilization. In addition, the energy conversion–storage integrated system can efficiently sequentially capture, convert, and store energy in electrochemical energy storage devices. However, a comprehensive overview focusing on PSC‐self‐driven integrated devices with a discussion of their development and limitations remains lacking. Here, focus is on the development of representative configurations of emerging PSC‐based photo‐electrochemical devices including self‐charging power packs, unassisted solar water splitting/CO 2 reduction. The advanced progresses in this field, including configuration design, key parameters, working principles, integration strategies, electrode materials, and their performance evaluations are also summarized. Finally, scientific challenges and future perspectives for ongoing research in this field are presented.
