The article explores the potential of solar-driven hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting. Experts emphasize the importance of sunlight-driven technologies like green hydrogen production and artificial photosynthesis in offering sustainable and decentralized solutions to global energy challenges such as clean cooking, deforestation, and carbon emissions. Prof. Johan A. Martens from KU Leuven, Belgium, envisions a bright future for solar-driven hydrogen production. Additionally, Drs. Markus Antonietti and Christian M. Pelicano from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany, discuss the necessity of enhancing efficiencies and investing in sustainable energy infrastructure for scaling up photocatalytic hydrogen production. Dr. Leticia M. Torres-Martínez from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, México, proposes policy approaches to build a green hydrogen future, emphasizing the need for an international regulatory framework that supports research, infrastructure, safety measures, and market development. The article also announces a forthcoming virtual symposium on photocatalytic water splitting, providing an opportunity for in-depth discussions with article authors and experts in the field.
