Solar cell characterization
Solar high-temperature electrolysis uses concentrated solar light for both the heating of the electrolyzer stack reactants and the electricity demand (via photovoltaic cells) of the electrolyzer stack. An integrated reactor design, i.e., the proximity of the electrolyzer stack to the solar absorber, enables a significant reduction in heat losses. …
