Conventional PEC devices require downstream technologies to capture and store the generated hydrogen gas for its further use as an energy carrier or a fuel. Among various methods, solid-state hydrogen storage appears particularly attractive due to its safety, long-term stability, and application flexibility.
Hydrogen production using solar power is referred to as solar hydrogen. PC water splitting is actively pursued for hydrogen production because it efficiently utilizes solar energy to address environmental and energy challenges. Photocatalysts driven by visible light are primarily used for solar energy conversion.
Solar PV-E for hydrogen production converts fluctuating PV electricity to stable chemical energy, and provides a stable and time-shifted energy source to support the power grid and address practical energy demands. In addition, the products of water electrolysis (H 2, O 2) are produced separately at the two electrodes of the electrolytic cell.
If proper materials and methods are established for solar hydrogen generation and solid hydrogen storage under ambient conditions, solar light used for hydrogen generation and utilization via solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) will be an efficient, safe, and cost-effective technique.
However, the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy is challenged by transportation and storage issues, as it requires compressed and liquefied gas storage tanks. Solid hydrogen storage offers a promising solution, providing an effective and low-cost method for storing and releasing hydrogen.
