Abstract
The recent results of research and developments in photochemical and photoelectrochemical water decomposition technologies are reviewed. A new system using a semiconductor photoelectrode combined with thermoelectric generation is also introduced. Basic principles as well as the feasibilities of these hydrogen production systems are interpreted laying stress on the hybrid, homogeneous and heterogeneous methods. Unsolved problems in the reaction mechanisms, instabilities, and corrosion are discussed. The present aim of these systems is to attain a greater efficiency than that of the combined system of solar cells and water electrolysis.
