Photocatalytic water splitting for solar hydrogen generation: fundamentals and recent advancements
Abstract
The expected depletion of fossil fuel reserves and its serious environmental impact have emphasised the issue of sustainable development of the human society. Solar hydrogen by photocatalytic water splitting is a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuels, which is of great potential to relieve the energy and environmental issues and bring an energy revolution in a clean and sustainable manner. This review is going to make a brief introduction of the basic principles of photocatalytic water splitting and the concept of different kinds of water splitting systems. Various engineering strategies for searching higher efficiency of water splitting based on the photocatalytic processes, including light harvesting, charge carriers separation and co-catalysts loading, have been outlined and discussed with selected typical examples on some elaborately designed semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems. Moreover, recent impressive progresses and advancements for photocatalytic water splitting with some promising materials are presented. Finally, this review is concluded with a summary and perspective in this hot area of research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
