Solar water splitting is a process that uses solar energy to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is of significant interest because it offers a sustainable way to produce hydrogen, a clean fuel. The overall reaction can be represented as:
2H2O (l) â 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are the two half-reactions involved in this process.
