“…300 techniques have been reported for fabrication of electrodes and photoelectrodes. 248,[302][303][304][305][306] Flame spray pyrolysis as an aerosol deposition method is also highly scalable for facile and fast fabrication of various nanostructured (photo)electrodes. [307][308][309][310] A production rate of a few kilograms per hour is achievable using lab-scale burners with tunable specific surface area and catalytic activity of the produced nanomaterials.…”

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 efficiency, scalability and durability for scale-up are assessed along with the field performance of the selected systems. Some benchmark studies are highlighted, mostly addressing one or two of the limiting factors, as well as a few recent examples demonstrating upscaled solar hydrogen production systems and emerging trends towards large-scale hydrogen production. A techno-economic analysis provides a critical comparison of the levelized cost of hydrogen output via each of the four solar-to-hydrogen conversion pathways.

“…While an orthorhombic structure of Brookite is the result of sharing both edges and corners of octahedrons [5,6]. Rutile is the most stable crystal phase of TiO 2 while anatase is a metastable phase, which can be transformed to thermodynamically stable rutile over calcination temperature exceeding ~600°C [7,8].…”

One-dimensional (1D) TiO 2 nanostructures (e.g., nanotubes, nanobelts, nanowires, and nanorods) have been considered to be very attractive candidates for various applications including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, photocatalytic CO 2 reduction into energy fuels, water splitting, solar cells, supercapacitors, and lithium-ion batteries. More importantly, the dimensionality associated with zero-dimensional TiO 2 nanostructures gives unique physical properties, including a high aspect ratio structure, chemical stability, excellent electronic or ionic charge transfer, and a specific interface effect. This chapter elaborates on crystal structure and properties, preparation techniques, strategies for improving photocatalytic activity of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructure and its applications. Amongst all preparation techniques, the influence of experimental parameters on morphologies of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructure using hydro/solvothermal method is extensively explained. Furthermore, some critical engineering strategies to enhance the properties of 1D-TiO 2 nanostructures like increasing the surface area, extending the light absorption, and efficient separation of electrons/holes that advantage their potential applications are described. Moreover, a brief summary of their environmental and energy applications is provided.

“…Hydrogen represents a clean energy vector that can be used to store the excess energy coming from renewable sources, reducing their intrinsic intermittency. In this context, photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) water splitting is one of the most promising technologies for producing hydrogen with a low environmental impact [1][2][3]. Several efforts have been recently focused on the production of high-performing and durable electrodes [2,4,5].…”

In this work, copper oxides-based photocathodes for photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) were produced for the first time by screen printing. A total 7 × 10−3 g/m2 glycerine trioleate was found as optimum deflocculant amount to assure stable and homogeneous inks, based on CuO nano-powder. The inks were formulated considering different binder amounts and deposited producing films with homogenous thickness, microstructure, and roughness. The as-produced films were thermally treated to obtain Cu2O- and Cu2O/CuO-based electrodes. The increased porosity obtained by adding higher amounts of binder in the ink positively affected the electron transfer from the surface of the electrode to the electrolyte, thus increasing the corresponding photocurrent values. Moreover, the Cu2O/CuO system showed a higher charge carrier and photocurrent density than the Cu2O-based one. The mixed Cu2O/CuO films allowed the most significant hydrogen production, especially in slightly acid reaction conditions.
