Abstract

I present the learnings from the Solar Fuels Database (SolarFuelsDB) and the review of the different solar fuels approaches [1] in terms of performance and longevity. The SolarFuelsDB is an open database for experimental demonstrations of solar to fuel devices (photoelectrochemical and solar thermochemical for water splitting and/or CO2 reduction) based on the FAIR principles. The database and the review aim to accelerate the development of such technologies. Utilizing this dataset and the review, I present a comprehensive review of photo-electrochemical and solar thermochemical devices, identify notable trends categorized by device taxonomy, architecture, and materials, and provide a second law analysis in order to identify potential of the various material systems and approaches.
