Photocatalytic water splitting using core/shell nanostructures is a promising process for reducing energy demands and environmental pollution. These materials protect the surface features of the core and enhance hydrogen production. This review focuses on the characteristics and efficient water-splitting reactions of core-shell nanostructured photocatalysts.
Photocatalytic water splitting into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of semiconductor photocatalysts under a visible spectrum of solar irradiation is one of the most promising processes for plummeting energy demands and environmental pollution. Among the successful photocatalytic materials, the core/shell nanostructures show promising results owing to their fascinating morphology that protects the surface features of the core besides the effective separation of photo-excitons resulting in an enhanced rate of hydrogen production up to 162 mmol h(-1)g(-1)cat, which is a notable highest value reported in the literature. In this review, we have focused on the basic characteristics of the core -shell structure-based semiconductor photocatalytic systems and their efficient water-splitting reactions under light irradiation. Comprehensive detail on various synthesis methods of core-shell nanostructures, shell thickness-dependent properties, charge-transfer reaction mechanisms, and photocatalytic stability are highlighted in this review. Core-shell nanostructured materials have been extensively used as a photocatalyst, co-catalyst, and by coupling with supporting materials to improve the apparent quantum efficiency up to 45.6%. Besides, important photocatalytic properties that influence the redox reactions i.e., effective exciton separation, the effect of different light sources/wavelengths, surface charge modeling, photocatalytic active sites, and turnover frequency (TOF) have also been focused on and extensively described. Finally, the present and future prospects of the core-shell nanostructured photocatalysts for solar energy conversion into green hydrogen production have been expounded.
