Hydrogen is a green, carbon-free, and renewable fuel capable of addressing today's energy dilemma. Large-scale production of hydrogen is being undertaken via an artificial photosynthetic approach, which mirrors the natural photosynthesis in plants. This development has garnered significant interest in scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, material science, etc. Hydrogen can be produced cheaply and sustainably by splitting H2O using nanomaterials and semiconductors as photoelectrochemical (PEC), photo, and biomimetic cata¬lysts. However, the entire process may not generate sufficient fuel due to various inherent constraints, including diffusion distance, bandgap, photostability, and carrier lifetime of semiconductors. Thus, it is critical to consider a few remedies and improvements, such as increasing the contact surface and decreasing the minority carrier diffusion distance, which would guarantee increased hydrogen Technological Advancement in Clean Energy Production: Constraints and Solutions for Energy and Electricity Development.
