Nanoscale Metal Oxide Improvement for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting and Hydrogen Generation
Abstract: The global pursuit of clean and renewable energy has spotlighted hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, particularly when generated through environmentally friendly methods. Among these, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting stands out as a direct and solar-powered approach to hydrogen (H₂) production. Unlike conventional techniques that rely heavily on fossil fuels, PEC systems utilize semiconductor materials to absorb sunlight and catalyze the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen, without releasing harmful …
