This critical review shows the basis of photocatalytic water splitting and experimental points, and surveys heterogeneous photocatalyst materials for water splitting into H2 and O2, and H2 or O2 evolution from an aqueous solution containing a sacrificial reagent. Many oxides consisting of metal cations with d0 and d10 configurations, metal (oxy)sulfide and metal (oxy)nitride photocatalysts have been reported, especially during the latest decade. The fruitful photocatalyst library gives important information on factors affecting photocatalytic performances and design of new materials. Photocatalytic water splitting and H2 evolution using abundant compounds as electron donors are expected to contribute to construction of a clean and simple system for solar hydrogen production, and a solution of global energy and environmental issues in the future (361 references).
这篇批判性综述展示了光催化水分解的基础和实验要点，概述了用于将水分解为H2和O2以及从含有牺牲试剂的水溶液中析出H2或O2的多相光催化剂材料。许多由具有d0和d10构型的金属阳离子组成的氧化物、金属（氧）硫化物和金属（氧）氮化物光催化剂已被报道，尤其是在最近十年。丰富的光催化剂库为影响光催化性能的因素和新材料设计提供了重要信息。利用丰富的化合物作为电子供体的光催化水分解和H2析出有望为未来构建清洁简单的太阳能制氢系统以及解决全球能源和环境问题做出贡献（361篇参考文献）。
