Abstract

Functional materials such as electro-optic or opto-electric ceramics are of fundamental as well as of technological interest in the context to energy application. Since, natural resources those include sunlight, wind, water, are available in abundance on our planet earth, ever-growing human energy requirements necessitates and demands a way to make their use for generation of renewable energy. Ceramics are excellent candidates in view of their exciting optical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and corrosion-resistant properties. Photocatalytic material systems have fascinating ability to split water molecules under the presence of photon and electrical energy, by virtue of their suitable band energetics with respect to water redox levels. The water splitting phenomenon is important wrt hydrogen energy technology which demands energy production via renewable energy sources. Photo−/electrocatalysts which are capable of efficiently splitting water molecule with a sustainable performance are highly desirable. The physicochemical study of materials to identify best suited photocatalyst has been a topic of prime interest. The present chapter discusses nano-configured photocatalysts reported till date and compares their performance and scope with respect to their commercialization for hydrogen-producing technologies.
