water splitting. One approach is to utilize incoming solar radiation for the photocatalytic generation of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) from water. Photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen gas from water requires the transfer of electrons to the hydrogen, while the holes interact with the oxygen or are scavenged by other molecules.
