In a group of well-nourished, normal-weight Chinese men following low-vitamin A diets, 4.5 mg spirulina beta-carotene consumed with 22 g fat has the same vitamin A activity as does 1 mg retinyl acetate.
Metal halide hybrid perovskites solar cell (PSCs) have received considerable attention over the past decade owing to their potential for low‐cost, solution‐processable, earth‐abundant, and high‐performance superiority, increasing power conversion efficiencies of up to 25.7%. Solar energy conversion into electricity is highly efficient and sustainable, but direct utilisation, storage, and poor energy diversity are difficult to achieve, resulting in a potential waste of resources. Considering its convenience and feasibility, converting solar energy into chemical fuels is regarded as a promising pathway for boosting energy diversity and expanding its utilisation. In addition, the energy conversion‐storage integrated system can efficiently sequentially capture, convert, and store energy in electrochemical energy storage devices. However, a comprehensive overview focusing on PSC‐self‐driven integrated devices with a discussion of their development and limitations remains lacking. In this review, we focus on the development of representative configurations of emerging PSCs‐based photo‐electrochemical devices including self‐charging power packs, unassisted solar water splitting/CO2 reduction. We also summarise the advanced progress in this field, including configuration design, key parameters, working principles, integration strategies, electrode materials, and their performance evaluations. Finally, scientific challenges and future perspectives for ongoing research in this field are presented.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
