TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review highlights some key factors influencing the efficiency of heterogeneous semiconductors for solar water splitting (i.e. improved charge separation and transfer, promoted optical absorption, optimized band gap position, lowered cost and toxicity, and enhanced stability and water splitting kinetics).

TL;DR: Based on the fundamentals of photocatalysis and surface chemistry of TiO 2 nanomaterials, this article summarized and discussed the achievements in different surface modification strategies employed to date such as surface doping and sensitization, construction of surface heterojunctions, loading of nano-sized co-catalysts, increase in the accessible surface areas, and usage of surface F effects and exposure of highly reactive facets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent progress in the rational design and fabrication of highly active and selective photocatalysts for the photoreduction of CO2, but also offer some fundamental insights into designing highly efficient photocatalyst for water splitting or pollutant degradation.

TL;DR: In this article, a ternary hybrid g-C3N4-CdS-9% NiS composite materials with a noble-metal-free NiS cocatalyst were fabricated by an in situ hydrothermal method.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step strategy of high temperature calcination and in situ photodeposition was used to synthesize WO 3 /g-C 3 N 4 /Ni(OH) x hybrids.
