Abstract

Solar photoelectrochemical water splitting is a potential pathway for large-scale renewable fuel generation with minimum carbon footprint. It utilizes semiconductors to absorb photons and generate charge carriers for redox processes leading to hydrogen and oxygen evolution. A major challenge is the scarcity of materials satisfying all the criteria associated with efficiency, cost, scalability and stability. A few of the recently emerged 0 and 2D semiconductors have demonstrated remarkable ability to form heterostructures with unique properties for addressing these issues. In this presentation, these structures exhibiting quantum size effects and the advancements in the field are discussed.
