Semiconductor nanomaterials hold the key for efficient solar energy conversion and storage systems. In this talk, we will give a brief overview of our recent progresses in designing semiconductor nanomaterials as the important functional components for solar energy conversion application including photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar fuel and solar electricity generation. The new PEC devices not only demonstrated valuable chemicals (such as H₂, H₂O₂, hydrocarbons) production capability, but also achieved a world record Power Conversion Efficiency with a certified PCE of 16.6% in quantum dot based solar cells.^1-5 To resolve the intermittent solar energy utilisation challenge, a new type of integrated rechargeable solar batteries, which combine a solar cell with new types of rechargeable Al-ion batteries,^6,7 were developed to simultaneously convert solar energy into storable electricity in a single device configuration. The further development of these semiconductor based energy conversion and storage systems underpin important renewable energy utilisation technologies.
