Recent Advances in Sensitized Photocathodes: From Molecular Dyes to Semiconducting Quantum Dots.
The increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally benign energy has stimulated intense research to establish highly efficient photo-electrochemical (PEC) cells for direct solar-to-fuel conversion via water splitting. Light absorption, as the initial step of the catalytic process, is regarded as the foundation of establishing highly efficient PEC systems. To make full use of visible light, sensitization on photoelectrodes using either molecular dyes or semiconducting quantum dots provides a promising method. In this field, however, there remain many fundamental issues to be solved, which need in-depth study. Here, fundamental knowledge of PEC systems is introduced to enable readers a better understanding of this field. Then, the development history and current state in both molecular dye- and quantum dot-sensitized photocathodes for PEC water splitting are discussed. A systematical comparison between the two systems has been made. Special emphasis is placed on the research of quantum dot-sensitized photocathodes, which have shown superiority in both efficiency and durability towards PEC water splitting at the present stage. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in the future for sensitized PEC water-splitting systems are proposed.
