Solar redox flow batteries (SRFBs) integrate solar energy conversion devices and redox flow batteries (RFBs) to realize the flexible storage/utilization of solar energy by charging/discharging redox species, and electricity is the output of a SRFB. As a beneficial supplement, the charged redox species could be also used as the energy carrier to drive chemical reactions. Herein, targeting an important H2S splitting reaction, a new SRFB based on H-4[(SiW12O40)-O-VI]/H-6[(SiW10W2O40)-W-VI-O-V] and Fe2+/Fe3+ redox species and perovskite solar cells is typically designed and constructed. A solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of more than 15.2% is achieved during the charging step. The chemical energy stored in redox species is subsequently discharged to realize H-2 and sulfur production on nonprecious catalysts. A net solar energy conversion efficiency of 2.9% is obtained in the whole cycle. This work illustrates the importance of a rational process and material engineering toward cost-effective and flexible chemical conversion via SRFBs.
