National Institute for Materials Science · Hokkaido University · +1 more institution
Abstract
Solar H2 production is considered as a potentially promising way to utilize solar energy and tackle climate change stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels. Photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, photovoltaic–electrochemical, solar thermochemical, photothermal catalytic, and photobiological technologies are the most intensively studied routes for solar H2 production. In this Focus Review, we provide a comprehensive review of these technologies. After a brief introduction of the principles and mechanisms of these technologies, the recent achievements in solar H2 production are summarized, with a particular focus on the high solar-to-H2 (STH) conversion efficiency achieved by each route. We then comparatively…
