Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

This chapter deals with the topic of photocatalytic water splitting. Photosynthesis in nature is discussed leading into artificial photosynthesis in the lab. The basic principles of photocatalytic water splitting are introduced, followed by materials used for artificial photosynthesis, visible-light-driven photocatalysis, and dye-sensitized visible-light-driven photocatalysis, inorganic visible light-driven photocatalysis, and organic–inorganic hybrid systems.
