Solar-to-fuels conversion reactions, including water electrolysis and CO2 reduction, are energy-intensive processes. The materials required to drive these reactions, therefore, need to produce significant photovoltages and perform at high quantum efficiencies. Leading photovoltaic materials such as multijunction Si and GaAs/GaInP2 have proven capable. As a surging newcomer in the photovoltaic field, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites offer promise in solar-to-fuels conversion. We have explored their application in various configurations, from series-connected photovoltaics to photoelectrode-photovoltaic tandems, and have achieved highly competitive solar-to-fuels conversion efficiencies
