Concentrated Solar Spectrum Splitting for Photovoltaic-Photochemical Water Splitting

In the pursuit of realizing greener water splitting, unassisted photoelectrochemical (PEC) system (able to operate fully with solar energy) needs to be supported by PV. Spectral beam splitting is useful in a system that takes in concentrated solar energy to PV-PEC because of the difference in the favour of wavelength and temperature of individual concentrator PV and PEC. In this project, the incorporation of beam splitting and its optimisation will be studied in the new PV-PEC system.
