abstract = {The fabrication process of high performance quadruple
junction thin film silicon solar cells is described and the
application of the solar cells in an integrated
photoelectrochemical water splitting device is demonstrated.
It is shown that the performance of solar cells can be
adjusted by varying the process parameters and the thickness
of the absorber layers of the individual sub cells and by
integrating microcrystalline silicon oxide as intermediate
reflecting layers. Thereby current matching of the sub cells
was improved and a high open-circuit voltage of 2.8 V was
achieved. Furthermore, the solar cell stability against
light-induced degradation was investigated. Efficiencies of
$13.2\%$ (initial) and $12.6\%$ (after 1000 h of
light-soaking) were achieved. Bias-free water splitting with
a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of $7.8\%$ was demonstrated
in an integrated photovoltaic–electrochemical device using
the developed quadruple junction photocathode. Finally, it
is shown that in the case of quadruple junction solar cells
the light-induced degradation has a lower effect on the
photovoltaic–electrochemical efficiency as on the
photovoltaic efficiency.},
