Abstract

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a process that uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using a specialised photoelectrochemical cell. PEC water splitting has the potential to be an attractive way of producing hydrogen gas, as it can be powered by renewable energy sources such as sunlight. Generally, research advancement in PEC water splitting has shown positive potential in developing a sustainable and efficient way of producing hydrogen gas using renewable energy sources. However, the efficiency and viability of PEC water splitting significantly depend on a few key factors, including photocatalyst efficiency, device architecture optimisation, and electrode stability. Thus, this chapter focuses on the most up-to-date developing materials with improved light absorption and charge separation properties for PEC water splitting. In addition, this chapter also discussed future trends and success challenges of the PEC water splitting to provide an outlook for future research.
