can any one inform me .is photo catalytic water splitting is still in research stage or it is using for industrial application.please let me know and how ?
The yield of the process is still not high enough for it to be deployed for industry application though research has and is still on-going.
Photocatalytic water splitting for production of Hydrogen fuel has very less efficiency. As per literature, it is nearly 14% (max); therefore efficiency enhancement is important for it's commercialization.
Agree with all. I personally believe it takes very long time to achieve this. Good Luck if you are in this field.
thanks for all .
Dear Anand S. Burange can you please send me .the literature which shows maximum efficient hydrogen generation photo catalytic process
All of the comments are true. There are some low-cost industrial methods for production of hydrogen gas. Now, the majority of hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification with only a small quantity by other routes such as biomass gasification or electrolysis of water. On the other hand, the efficiency of water splitting is not high enough. This process needs many improvement to reach industrial application.
Currently, to get hydrogen fuel, catalytic decomposition of formic acid is also an emerging area.
Yes. Still it is in research stage but sure it is far better solution for future green fuel.
