“…Meanwhile, the thin film thickness of the photoelectrodes may inevitably reduce light absorption. [7][8][9][10][11] Therefore, the optimization between the light absorption and the carrier separation of the photoelectrodes poses a great challenge to further enhance the PEC performance of the photoelectrodes. 12,13 One-dimensional (1D) structures, i.e., nanorods or nanowires, are considered one of the most ideal nanostructures to address the contradictions mentioned above.…”

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) catalysis provides the most promising avenue for producing value‐added chemicals and consumables from renewable precursors. Over the last decades, PEC catalysis, including reduction of renewable feedstock, oxidation of organics, and activation and functionalization of C‐C and C‐H bonds, are extensively investigated, opening new opportunities for employing the technology in upgrading readily available resources. However, several challenges still remain unsolved, hindering the commercialization of the process. This review offers an overview of PEC catalysis targeted at the synthesis of high‐value chemicals from sustainable precursors. First, we recall the fundamentals of evaluating PEC reactions in the context of value‐added product synthesis at both anode and cathode. Then, we highlight the common photoelectrode fabrication methods that have been employed to produce thin‐film photoelectrodes. Next, we systematically review and discuss the advancements in the PEC conversion of various feedstocks to produce highly valued chemicals. Finally, we present the challenges and prospects in the field. This review aims at facilitating further development of PEC technology for upgrading several renewable precursors to value‐added products and other pharmaceuticals.This article is protected by copyright.

This comprehensive review delves into the intricacies of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting process, specifically focusing on the design, fabrication, and optimization of particle‐based photoelectrodes for efficient green hydrogen production. These photoelectrodes, composed of semiconductor materials, potentially harness light energy and generate charge carriers, driving water oxidation and reduction reactions. The versatility of particle‐based photoelectrodes as a platform for investigating and enhancing various semiconductor candidates is explored, particularly the emerging complex oxides with compelling charge transfer properties. However, the challenges presented by many factors influencing the performance and stability of these photoelectrodes, including particle size, shape, composition, morphology, surface modification, and electrode configuration, are highlighted. The review introduces the fundamental principles of semiconductor photoelectrodes for PEC water splitting, presents an exhaustive overview of different synthesis methods for semiconductor powders and their assembly into photoelectrodes, and discusses recent advances and challenges in photoelectrode material development. It concludes by offering promising strategies for improving photoelectrode performance and stability, such as the adoption of novel architectures and heterojunctions.This article is protected by copyright.
