Abstract
The challenges in the current energy consumption patterns and demand–supply gap are driving the need to develop commercially viable and sustainable alternative fuels that are eco-friendly and efficient. Given the existing alternatives, hydrogen is regarded as the ultimate carbon-less clean and green fuel with high energy density. Considerable efforts are being made to develop catalysts/photo-catalysts for the efficient production of hydrogen from abundantly available water resources via water-splitting process. In this review, the photocatalytic activity of tin oxide-based hybrid photocatalytic materials for increased hydrogen production has been studied. The existing bottlenecks and proposed solutions have also been discussed.
