The authors study energy efficiency measurements for the photoelectrolysis of water in a cell with a semiconductor photoanode illuminated by monochromatic light. Comparisons of different efficiency measures of such cells has been a problem for the intercomparison of published work on such photoelectrolysis cells. They look at a heat monitoring signal from the photoanode in relationship to the energy conversion efficiency of the cell.
