Abstract

Front cover image: Practical green hydrogen production requires efficient, low-cost, nontoxic materials integrated into simple device architectures. However, achieving high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency using solely earth-abundant materials in the overall device remains a critical bottleneck. In article number CEY2706, Park et al. report a solar hydrogen production system with over 10% STH efficiency under unbiased conditions. The device combines a Se-incorporated Ni3S2 electrocatalyst with a ternary bulk heterojunction organic semiconductor composed of PM6, D18, and L8-BO. Ternary absorber enables tailored photovoltage and enhanced photocurrent by suppressing non-radiative decay pathways. Effective integration of the catalyst and light absorber offers a simple and effective route for benchmark-efficiency solar hydrogen production using earth-abundant materials.

封面图片：实际的绿色制氢需要高效、低成本、无毒的材料集成到简单的设备架构中。然而，在整个设备中仅使用地球上丰富的材料来实现高太阳能制氢效率仍然是一个关键的瓶颈。在CEY2706号文章中，Park等人报道了一种在无偏条件下STH效率超过10%的太阳能制氢系统。该器件将含硒Ni3S2电催化剂与由PM6、D18和L8-BO组成的三元体异质结有机半导体相结合。三元吸收剂通过抑制非辐射衰减途径实现定制光电压和增强光电流。催化剂和光吸收剂的有效整合为利用地球上丰富的材料实现基准效率的太阳能制氢提供了一条简单而有效的途径。
