Thus, significant efforts have been devoted in the past few decades to modify the above characteristics by integrating constituent components of composites using different approaches. In the present review, we aim to summarize the recent advances, predominantly, in the area of TiO<small><sub>2</sub></small>-based photocatalyst composites for solar hydrogen production. Firstly, we present the recent progress in material integration aspects by discussing the integration of TiO<small><sub>2</sub></small> with different categories of materials, including noble/3d metals, metal oxides/sulphides/selenides, other low bandgap semiconductors, C-based materials, and dye sensitizers. Furthermore, we discuss how material integration helps in tailoring the electronic and optical properties for activity tuning in solar H<small><sub>2</sub></small> production. Subsequently, critical changes in the physico-chemical and electronic properties of composites with respect to their preparation methods, morphology, crystallographic facets, particle size, dopant, calcination temperature, and structure–activity relationship to solar hydrogen production are addressed in detail. Moreover, we discuss the importance of fabricating a photocatalyst in a thin film form and performing solar hydrogen production in different reactor set-ups for enhancing its photocatalytic performance, while addressing device scalability. Despite the significant advancements made in this field, solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency still needs to be improved to realise the practical application of solar hydrogen production. In this case, the direct conversion of water to hydrogen <em>via</em> overall water splitting and renewable H<small><sub>2</sub></small> production from wastewater or biomass components by employing suitable photocatalysts are some possible ways to improve the energy efficiency, and continuous research in the above directions is highly desirable.</p>","PeriodicalId":72913,"journal":{"name":"Energy advances","volume":" 7","pages":" 1472-1504"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/ya/d4ya00249k?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141507495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a simulation framework is presented that enhances the chemical single cell model by accounting for these thermal transport changes in gas producing pouch cells. It is validated by performing two battery cell propagation experiments in an autoclave. Besides the temperature measurement, the propagation time between the cells and the gas composition are analyzed and compared between simulation and experiment.
