This review summarizes three different approaches to engineering systems for the
solar-driven evolution of hydrogen fuel from water: molecular, nanomaterials and
biomolecular. Molecular systems have the advantage of being highly amenable to
modification and detailed study and have provided great insight into
photophysics, electron transfer and catalytic mechanism. However, they tend to
display poor stability. Systems based on nanomaterials are more robust but also
are more difficult to synthesize in a controlled manner and to modify and study
in detail. Biomolecular systems share many properties with molecular systems and
have the advantage of displaying inherently high efficiencies for light
absorption, electron-hole separation and catalysis. However, biological systems
must be engineered to couple modules that capture and convert solar photons to
modules that produce hydrogen fuel. Furthermore, biological systems are prone to
degradation when employed in vitro. Advances that use combinations of these three
tactics also are described. Multidisciplinary approaches to this problem allow
scientists to take advantage of the best features of biological, molecular and
nanomaterials systems provided that the components can be coupled for efficient
function.
