In PVEs, a photovoltaic cell provides the necessary overpotential to drive WS in the electrolyzer; in PECs, sunlight is instead harvested by a photoanode having suitable valence band potentials to carry out the oxidative half-reaction, with the generated electrons being transferred to the photocathode for proton reduction (Ager et al., 2015). In both approaches, …
