Photoelectrochemical devices could play a crucial role toward fuel production in a circular economy. Yet, light absorption suffers losses from thermalization and the inability to use low-energy photons. Here, we demonstrate that photoelectrochemical reactors can utilize this waste heat by integrating thermoelectric modules, which provide additional voltage under concentrated light irradiation. While most single semiconductors require external bias, we already accomplish unassisted water splittin ...[more]
