Although initially studied in the 1970s, interest in this field has surged in recent years. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of this topic, researchers from diverse backgrounds approach it with varying methodologies, resulting in highly diverse cell designs and inconsistent performance metrics. These variations complicate the comparison and evaluation of system efficiency and functionality. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the field's development and current state, from early photoelectrochemical approaches to modern integrated designs. Additionally, it addresses the challenge of performance evaluation by compiling current approaches to performance measurement and proposing standardized evaluation parameters under defined conditions. This dual focus on field overview and metrics standardization aims to provide both a thorough understanding of solar electrochemical energy storage technologies and a framework for their consistent evaluation, which is critical for advancing these technologies. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/CNS2023-145197 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2022-140516OB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ciria-Ramos, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza Gascón, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3492-6456 Haro, Marta Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7246-2149 Juarez-Perez, Emilio J.
