Photocatalytic solar hydrogen production harnesses the power of sunlight to generate hydrogen through two primary mechanisms: overall water splitting and organic reforming. Each process uses a photocatalyst to absorb solar energy and drive chemical reactions, although they differ significantly in their reactants and underlying chemistry.
Impressively, the photocatalytic hydrogen production presented a remarkable achievement, reaching a rate of 5488.8 μmol.g −1.h −1 in pure water and 3956.0 μmol.g −1.h −1 in seawater splitting, respectively. The observed value exhibits an approximately 50-fold increase compared to the pristine Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S photocatalyst.
Moreover, the optimization and intensification of upstream to downstream process units, which are often overlooked, needs to be considered to achieve holistic feasibility. The current low STH efficiency continues to hinder the large-scale application of photocatalytic solar hydrogen production.
