TL;DR: In this article, the design, synthesis and development of semiconductor-based nanocomposite photocatalysts for hydrogen production is discussed, the major points are the role of catalytic active sites, the chemical nature of sacrificial agents, the effect of light sources, the variable light intensity and the energy efficiency calculation.

TL;DR: Molybdenum disulfide has emerged as one of the promising materials, particularly as a co-catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over the conventional and more expensive platinum as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and morphological stability of leaf-templated and oxygen vacancy engineered materials is investigated along with the detailed study of catalytically active sites, and it is concluded that the benefits of efficient light absorption by the three-dimensional morphology of semiconductor materials could not be utilized in the studied solid-liquid binary phase reactions.

TL;DR: From the observed results, it has been recognized that the established strategy could be promising for synthesizing N-doped TiO2 nanotubes with favorable structural, optical and photocatalytic properties towards dye degradation and hydrogen production applications.
