Original Abstract

Photoelectrochemical water splitting with sunlight irradiated to produce hydrogen belongs to promising approaches due to the simplicity of the constructive implementation and ease of control. This review article discusses the synthesis of ZnO, and metal chalcogenide-based heterostructures and their use in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. The use of ZnO and metal chalcogenides heterostructures improves the absorption of sunlight in the near-infrared spectrum, increase the ability of photoelectrochemical splitting of water, and reduce the recombination of charge carriers. At this rate, metal chalcogenides have a function of electron or hole acceptors.
