研究目的
To examine the transport phenomena and optimal performance of an integrated concentrated photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen reactor.
研究成果
The integrated PEC/electrolysis reactor has energy and exergy efficiency efficiencies of 71.5% and 69.7%, respectively. The integrated CPV-PEC apparatus has overall energy and exergy efficiencies of 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively, with the most significant losses occurring during light concentration, transmission, and reflection.
研究不足
The fabrication process for the experiments had imperfections and non-commercial membranes which led to lower efficiencies. The PEC reactor does not utilize all the received solar irradiance, thereby also reducing the efficiency.
