Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting, which relies on sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen, stands out as potentially one of the most sustainable routes to clean energy. PEC water-splitting was first noted in scientific publications in 1972. Photoelectrodes have demonstrated efficiencies from 10% to 20%.
