Abstract

Through decades of sustained effort, researchers have made substantial progress on developing technologies for solar-driven water splitting. Nevertheless, more basic research is needed before prototype devices with a chance for commercial success can be demonstrated. In this Perspective, we summarize the major design constraints that motivate continued research in the field of solar-driven water splitting. Additionally, we discuss key device components that are now available for use in demonstration systems and prototypes. Finally, we highlight research areas where breakthroughs will be critical for continued progress toward commercial viability for solar-driven water-splitting devices.
