Abstract
- [Display omitted] • WO-NWs with high conductivity were fabricated to modify carbon electrodes for CsPbBr 3 PSCs. • WO-NWs enhanced hole extraction ability and reduced charge carrier recombination for PSCs. • A champion PCE of 9.17% and an ultra-high V oc of 1.592 V for CsPbBr 3 PSCs were achieved. • Ru-WO shown enhanced electrocatalytic activity and excellent operation stability for HER. • Onset overpotential of 32 mV and Tafel slope of 34 mV dec-1 were achieved by Ru-WO for HER. Solar energy is sustainable and much more abundant than other energy sources, which is considered as the most promising energy source for the future. The conversion of solar energy directly into hydrogen is an effective and promising solution to intermittency of solar energy, simultaneously addressing effective storage and transport problem. Here, we present W 18 O 49 nanowires (WO-NWs) tailored carbon electrodes to enhance hole extraction of CsPbBr 3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and finally achieve a champion efficiency of 9.17% with open circuit voltage (V oc) of 1.592 V. Meanwhile, we use Ru doped W 18 O 49 (Ru-WO) for robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts, yielding an onset overpotential of 32 mV, Tafel slope of 34 mV dec-1 and exchange current density up to 1.93×10-2 mA cm-2. Moreover, Ru-WO demonstrates excellent operation stability and steady current density up to 500 mA cm-2 over 50 h. The rapid development of CsPbBr 3 PSCs with ultra-high V oc and robust HER catalysts makes them highly promising for single-junction solar cell-driven water splitting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
