Abstract
The main component in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting technology is the semiconductor, which its electronic structure has an essential effect on the final performance of the cell. Morphology plays a significant role in the electronic properties of semiconductors. The relationship between the electron and optical properties of nanostructures and their surface morphology is a subject that is less addressed in scientific papers. This review attempts to detail the impact of morphology on nanostructures' properties, such as light absorption and charge carrier transport. Creating a direct path for electron transport, reducing charge recombination, and increasing light scattering are some of the things that are directly related to the surface morphology of nanostructures. The present review aims to provide general information about synthesized nanostructures and their advantages and disadvantages to help readers create new ideas and innovate in this field.
