Solar-driven photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction: Advances, challenges, and future directions
Solar hydrogen production is a potentially viable solution to the climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels, in along with the utilization of solar energy. Photocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, photovoltaic-electrochemistry, solar thermochemistry, photothermal catalysis, and photobiology are the most extensively researched methods for the production of solar hydrogen. Among all the developed strategies, photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) systems are highly recognized because they can utilize solar energy to produce chemical fuels. This review critically analyzes recent progress in semiconductor materials specifically heterostructured systems in optimizing hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). We classify and discuss the function of conventional heterojunctions, Z-scheme and S-scheme structures, plasmonic nanocomposites, and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) functionalization in enhancing visible-light absorption, charge separation, and redox potential matching. It also pinpoints the current challenges, including low solar-to-hydrogen efficiency and material scalability, and outline future directions for advancing efficient, stable, and scalable hydrogen production systems. This review seeks to give researchers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of designing next-generation photocatalysts and hybrid systems for solar hydrogen production.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
