Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to hydrogen is a clean process that can achieve green hydrogen. However, the integrated PEC devices have some problems, such as serious incident light loss, poor stability, and high cost. Here, the low-cost perovskite/silicon tandem cell instead of the costly III−V tandem cell as the light absorber is used, combined with high-transmittance quartz glass as a protective layer forming an unassisted solar water-splitting device. Quartz glass can minimize incident light loss and prevent electrolyte corrosion of solar cells. A solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 19.68% is achieved, and the performance can be maintained for 20 h without noticeable change. This structure design provides a novel integrated solar water-splitting system.
