A renewable and easily available energy source is the sun. Sunlight can be captured, converted and stored in efficient energy carriers, such as hydrogen. The chemical energy stored in the H2 bond is easily released, yielding only water as the reaction product. The conversion of solar energy into H2 via water splitting processes is therefore among the most promising options for clean technologies. For a water splitting process to be efficient, a ...
