Abstract
Photocatalytic technology harnesses solar energy to facilitate chemical transformations, presenting significant potential in energy generation and environmental remediation. However, the conventional O2 evolution process is hindered by high reaction barriers and inefficiencies, which limit its widespread application. Therefore, exploring novel photocatalytic coupling strategies to replace water oxidation has become a key route to enhance the efficiency of H2 production. In this review, organic pollutants removal and the valorization of organics as substitutes for water oxidation coupling strategies for photocatalytic H2 production are comprehensively summarized. These strategies not only circumvent the high reaction barriers associated with O2 evolution to enhance the H2 production but also aid in the removing of organic pollutants or synthesis of value-added chemicals. We also present future research directions and underscore the significance of advanced catalyst design, in-depth analysis of reaction mechanisms, and systematic optimization strategies in realizing an efficient and sustainable photocatalytic process. This guidance is anticipated to provide theoretical and practical new insights for the future development of photocatalytic coupling reactions, fostering further explorations in the realm of renewable energy and environmental governance.
