Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting using semiconductors is a promising approach for converting solar energy to clean energy. However, challenges such as sluggish water oxidation kinetics and limited light absorption of photocatalyst cause low solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency (STH). Herein, we develop a photocatalytic overall water splitting system using I3‐/I‐ as the shuttle redox couple to bridge the H2‐producing half‐reaction with the O2‐producing half‐reaction. The system uses the halide perovskite of benzylammonium lead iodide (PMA2PbI4, PMA = C6H5CH2NH2) loaded with MoS2 (PMA2PbI4/MoS2) as the H2 evolution photocatalyst, and the RuOx‐loaded WO3 (WO3/RuOx) as the O2 evolution photocatalyst, achieving a H2/O2 production in stoichiometric ratio with an excellent STH of 2.07%. This work provides a detour route for photocatalytic water splitting with the help of I3‐/I‐ shuttle redox couple in the halide perovskite HI splitting system and enlightens one to integrate and utilize multi catalytic strategies for solar‐driven water splitting.
