Cheng, Wen-Hui; Atwater, Harry A.; Saive, Rebecca; Richter, Matthias H.; Yalamanchili, Sisir; Kelzenberg, Michael D.; McKenzie, Kelly

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology for the conversion of solar energy into chemicals may require cost-effective photoelectrodes to efficiently and stably drive anodic and/or cathodic half-reactions to complete the overall reactions for storing solar energy in chemical bonds. Apparatus and systems incorporating effectively transparent metal catalysts enable the design and/or implementation of PEC devices for light harvesting. Triple-junction photocathodes with the triangular catalyst grids are provided to improve the efficiency of the photocathodes to generate renewable fuel from sunlight.
