Some fundamental aspects of light-driven water splitting at semiconductor electrodes are reviewed along with recent experimental and theoretical progress. The roles of thermodynamics and kinetics in defining criteria for successful water-splitting systems are examined. An overview of recent research is given that places emphasis on new electrode materials, theoretical advances and the development of semi-quantitative experimental methods to study the dynamics of light-driven water-splitting reactions. Key areas are identified that will need particular attention as the search continues for stable, efficient and cost-effective light-driven photoelectrolysis systems that exploit electron/hole separation in semiconductor/electrolyte junctions.
