Solar energy conversion into electricity by photovoltaic modules is now a mature
technology. We discuss the need for materials and device developments using
conventional silicon and other materials, pointing to the need to use scalable
materials and to reduce the energy payback time. Storage of solar energy can be
achieved using the energy of light to produce a fuel. We discuss how this can be
achieved in a direct process mimicking the photosynthetic processes, using
synthetic organic, inorganic, or hybrid materials for light collection and
catalysis. We also briefly discuss challenges and needs for large-scale
implementation of direct solar fuel technologies.
