Solar-driven water splitting provides a leading approach to store the abundant yet intermittent solar energy and produce hydrogen as clean sustainable carrier. A straightforward route light-driven is apply self-supported particulate photocatalysts, which expected allow be competitive with fossil-fuel-derived on levelized cost basis. More importantly, powder-based systems can lend themselves making functional panels large scale while retaining intrinsic activity of photocatalyst. However, all attempts generate via water-splitting date have unfortunately fallen short efficiency values required for practical applications. Photocatalysis photocatalyst particles involves three sequential steps: (i) absorption photons higher energies than bandgap excitation electron-hole pairs in particles, (ii) charge separation migration these photoexcited carriers, (iii) surface chemical reactions based carriers. In this review, we focus challenges each step summarize material design strategies overcome obstacles limitations. This review illustrates that it possible employ fundamental principles underlying photosynthesis tools materials science prepare photocatalysts overall splitting.

Photocatalysis represents a unique class of chemical transformations. It utilizes the energy delivered by light and drives reactions that are difficult, sometimes even impossible, to carry out in dark. When used for thermodynamically uphill such as photosynthesis, photocatalysis promises sustainable solution large scale solar storage. Despite longstanding interest this process research efforts, existing demonstrations limited academic laboratory settings. Chief among reasons slow progress is lack suitable photocatalyst materials applications. For purpose effective absorption, charge separation, transfer, number photocatalytic materials, including conventional semiconductors emerging photoelectronic nanoscale plasmonic metal particles, quantum dots, 2D have been studied. This Review written summarize these recent efforts from broad perspective discuss possible strategies move forward practical implementations. We start with discussion on fundamental principles govern general then different classes covering various aspects their properties, efficiency, stability, scalability, cost. Afterward, we use model water splitting, CO2 reduction, N2 fixation demonstrate applications photocatalysts. Our perspectives concerning where field headed toward provided at end.
