Abstract
Here we demonstrate a low‑cost, rapidly tunable thin‑film photoelectrode platform that integrates organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules with photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems for solar fuel generation. The project, referred to as TOPPFuel, establishes a reconfigurable OPV‑based photoelectrode enabling modular design and scalable fabrication for PEC water-splitting and CO2 reduction reactions. Unlike traditional PEC tandems that rely on expensive, time-consuming III–V semiconductors and complex series optical coupling, the TOPPFuel architecture employs optical parallelism combined with series electrical interconnection via laser scribing, drastically simplifying fabrication and allowing bandgap‑tunable modules suited for a variety of catalytic systems.
