Advances of nanostructured metal oxide as photoanode in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting application.

ABSTRACT: Water splitting via photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells offers a promising route to generate hydrogen fuel using solar energy. Nanostructured metal oxides have emerged as leading candidates as photoelectrodes in photocatalytic H₂ production due to their photo-electrochemical stability, large surface area, earth abundance, and suitable band gap energies. This review reports the recent advancements of nanostructured metal oxide as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting applications. This review focuses on recent advancements in metal oxide photoanodes, their synthesis methods, modification strategies, and performance in PEC water splitting. Critical materials such as TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, WO₃, and BiVO₄ are discussed in
