Recently our paper "Toward a Low-Cost Artificial Leaf: Driving Carbon-Based and Bifunctional Catalyst Electrodes with Solution-Processed Perovskite Photovoltaics" published in Advanced Energy Materials was highlighted on the Inside Front Cover, and here it is: 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 NiCo2O4 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%.
