Abstract

Abstract: Being one of the renewable sources of energy, solar energy is considered a green and sustainable source and hence it can be utilized to generate carbon-free hydrogen via breaking a water molecule. In recent years, perovskite transition metal oxide-based materials have been investigated extensively as catalyst materials (i.e. photocatalyst/photoelectrode) in energy and the environment since they are low-cost, abundant, and also have good performance. In this comprehensive review, the perovskite transition metal oxides as both; photoanode and photocathode catalyst/electrode materials, for solar-driven photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, are discussed in detail. Further, several major milestones and recent developments in this field have also been discussed. At last, an overview of the recent challenges, potential research directions, and the future outlook is presented to guide the design and configuration of highly efficient photocatalyst/photoelectrode used in water splitting. Graphical Abstract: ga1 Highlights: Solar-driven water splitting can provide a sustainable route for clean H2 production. Perovskite oxide-based materials are low-cost, abundant, and promising for achieving high efficiency. Perovskite oxide-based photocatalysts/electrodes are discussed in terms of their scalability status and future directions.
