Research advances towards large-scale solar hydrogen production from water

Abstract: Solar hydrogen production from water is a sustainable alternative to traditional hydrogen production route using fossil fuels. However, there is still no existing large-scale solar hydrogen production system to compete with its counterpart. In this Review, recent developments of four potentially cost-effective pathways towards large-scale solar hydrogen production, viz. photocatalytic, photobiological, solar thermal and photoelectrochemical routes, are discussed, respectively. The limiting factors including ef… Show more

“…Therefore, it is considered as a promising electrode material Bosch et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2017;Li Y.-P. et al, 2019;Xiao et al, 2020). In recent years, since it has been noted that various processes such as thermodynamics and kinetics of various reactions occurring at the interface are significantly affected by the surface energy of micro/nanocrystals, MOF-derived materials have become a research hotspot (Yang et al, 2008;Larsson et al, 2009;Du et al, 2014Du et al, , 2017Bosch et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2019;Li Y.-P. et al, 2019;Xiao et al, 2020). Many studies have focused on designing and controlling their different morphologies.…”

“…According to the type of electrolyte, it can be divided into three types: alkaline, proton exchange membrane, and solid oxide. The traditional alkaline electrolyte has low hydrogen production efficiency and large power loss, which limits its application range (Liu et al., 2019). Most proton exchange membranes use higher cost precious metals, and they will be degraded during use.…”

“…Photocatalytic water splitting technology (PWST) offers a direct and environmentally benign approach for renewable H 2 production. [1][2][3][4] Overall water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen over semiconductors is a "Holy Grail" and a challenging task that is generally hampered by the sluggish O 2producing half reaction. To achieve efficient photocatalytic H 2 evolution, most reports have been centered on accomplishing the half reaction by adding sacrificial electron donors (such as CH 3 OH, triethanolamine, lactic acid, and ascorbic acid) to scavenge the holes, [5][6][7][8][9] while in these cases, the output values are generally less than the input values ( Figure 1a).…”
