381. Apart from the nature of photocatalyst, several factors contribute to the development of a photoelectrolysis device, see for instance ref. 32 and N. S. Lewis ECS Interface, 2013, 22, 43-49. A review focused on the different devices for the solarproduction of hydrogen, including photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) and PV-Electrolysis has been recently published, see T. J. Jacobsson, V.
