A review on the visible light active modified photocatalysts for water splitting for hydrogen production

rGO functionalized (Ni,Fe)-OH for an efficient trifunctional catalyst in low-cost hydrogen generation via urea decomposition as a proxy anodic reaction

“…5 Various routes are available to generate hydrogen, such as metal hydride hydrolysis, [6][7][8] steam reforming of hydrocarbons 9,10 and photochemical water-splitting. [11][12][13][14] However, these routes have their own limit-ations, including but not limited to the use of corrosive and aggressively reacting chemicals in the hydrolysis route and the emission of toxic and greenhouse gases as side products while steam reforming of hydrocarbons. Although the photochemical water-splitting route is a green approach, it is currently at the early stage of development and is also the slowest route to generate hydrogen.…”

Rational design of hierarchical MOF ‐derived CoP @ Co‐Fe LDH bifunctional electrocatalyst: An approach toward efficient overall water splitting in alkaline media

“…In line with this, hydrogen energy, a type of energy that does not produce harmful by‐products such as greenhouse gases, is attracting research attention 1‐3 . Among the various methods for producing hydrogen, water electrolysis techniques of water to obtain H 2 and O 2 have been widely studied 4‐7 . This process consists of two half‐reactions: the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on one side and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the other 8 .…”

Highly efficient photocatalytic H 2 evolution over Ni‐doped Mn 0. 5 Cd 0 . 5 S nanorods under visible light

“…Photocatalytic H 2 generation strategy is a promising method because of its sustainable, and low-cost features. 3,4 Many semiconductor material were reported with H 2 production activity, such as TiO 2 , 5,6 g-C 3 N 4 , [7][8][9][10] and so on. 11,12 Among all challenges, developing a highly active photocatalysts has been an urgent concern for achieving industrial application of photocatalytic H 2 production technology.…”
