Abstract

Abstract : Thomas Wågberg, Ludvig Edman, and co‐workers present in article number 1600738 an artificial‐leaf device comprising lightweight electrocatalyst electrodes powered by solution‐processed perovskite photovoltaics. The electrocatalyst, comprising NiCo2 O4 nanorods anchored onto carbon paper via nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes, operates efficiently as both anode and cathode in alkaline solution. The wired artificial leaf can be very low cost and features a solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency of 6.2%.
