本综述为克服传统光催化剂的局限性提供了战略路线图,并强调了混合光催化剂的最新进展,从而解决了可持续氢气(H₂)生产和储存过程中与电极和拓扑相关的挑战。与传统的综述不同,本文探讨了混合光催化剂的最新发展,并对氢₂燃料技术进行了全面分析,包括水分裂、光催化反应和存储问题。该书详细分析了模拟光合作用的光电化学(PEC)水分离技术,以生产碳中和的氢₂,并强调了利用助催化剂优化 PEC 设备的重要性。本综述讨论了先进的光催化剂设计,包括 Z 型和 S 型异质结、掺杂、表面改性和共聚,并研究了各种材料(如共轭微孔聚合物 (CMP)、共价有机框架 (COF)、石墨炔、MBene、基于 TiO₂ 的化合物、金属硫化物和 III-V 族化合物)对 PEC 活性的影响。此外,本综述还重点介绍了提高光催化剂性能的策略,如定向掺杂、空位创造和混合复合材料形成。建议包括设计具有成本效益的高效混合光电极、最大限度地利用光以及简化 PEC 电池设计。本综述探讨了氢₂的储存、传输和转化难题,不仅涵盖了氢₂生产的关键方面,还提供了实现可持续氢未来的路线图。
A Roadmap of Sustainable Hydrogen Production and Storage: Innovations and Challenges
The present review offers a strategic roadmap for overcoming conventional photocatalyst limitations and emphasizes recent advancements in hybrid photocatalysts, thereby addressing electrode and topology-associated challenges for sustainable hydrogen (H₂) production and storage. Unlike traditional reviews, this paper explores the latest developments in hybrid photocatalysts and provides a thorough analysis of H₂ fuel technology, including water splitting, photocatalytic reactions, and storage issues. A detailed analysis of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, which mimics photosynthesis, to produce carbon-neutral H₂ and the importance of optimizing PEC devices with co-catalysts are highlighted. Advanced photocatalyst designs, including Z-scheme and S-scheme heterojunctions, doping, surface modifications, and copolymerization, are discussed and the impact of various materials, such as conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), graphdiyne, MBene, TiO₂-based compounds, metal sulfides, and group III–V compounds, on PEC activity is examined. Furthermore, this review highlights strategies for improving photocatalyst performance, such as targeted doping, vacancy creation, and hybrid composite formation. Recommendations include designing cost-effective efficient hybrid photoelectrodes, maximizing light utilization, and simplifying PEC cell design. By addressing H₂ storage, transport, and conversion challenges, this review not only covers critical aspects of H₂ production but also provides a roadmap towards achieving a sustainable hydrogen future.
