Abstract
Photocatalysts have emerged as a brilliant strategy to transform solar energy into valuable products (i.e., H2 production, NH3 fixation, and CO2 conversion) and environmental remediation (i.e., wastewater treatment and air purification). Unfortunately, limited photogenerated electron–hole separation and improper reactive sites are the bottleneck issues resulting in the poor photocatalytic performance and the degradation of catalysts. The use of photocatalyst-integrated cocatalysts has offered an attractive tactic as cocatalysts not only enhance charge separation but also provide the active sites for the redox reactions. This chapter presents a critical overview of the fundamental of cocatalysts and highlights the cutting-edge research for the exploration of cocatalysts toward solar-driven hydrogen production, oxygen generation, and overall water splitting.
