Abstract

With the development of human society, environmental problems caused by the use of traditional fossil energy sources are increasing. Therefore, environment-friendly, renewable new energy technologies need to be urgently developed. The conversion of solar energy into other forms of clean energy sources, such as hydrogen gas, can alleviate environmental and energy problems to some extent. Due to their special physical and chemical characteristics, semiconductor materials can convert solar energy to other forms of energy sources, enabling the cyclic utilization of energy. As an important semiconductor material, InGaN can be used in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen because of its tunable bandgap and high electron mobility. This paper reviews the strategy of PEC water splitting into hydrogen by InGaN nanorods, summarizes the methods to enhance PEC water splitting efficiency, and provides an outlook on how to enhance the efficiency and stability of this process.
