This review presents the latest processes for designing anode materials to improve the efficiency of water photolysis. Based on different contributions towards the solar-to-hydrogen efficiency, we mainly review the strategies to enhance the light absorption, facilitate the charge separation, and enhance the surface charge injection. Although great achievements have been obtained, the challenges faced in the development of anode materials for solar energy to make water splitting remain significant. In this review, the major challenges to improve the conversion efficiency of photoelectrochemical water splitting reactions are presented. We hope that this review helps researchers in or coming to the field to better appreciate the state-of-the-art, and to make a better choice when they embark on new research in photocatalytic water splitting.

<div>As a promising oxygen evolution reaction semiconductor, TiO2 has been extensively investigated for solar photoelectrochemical water splitting. Here, a highly efficient and stable strategy for rationally preparing GaON cocatalysts on TiO2 by atomic layer deposition is demonstrated, which we show significantly enhances the</div><div>photoelectrochemical performance compared to TiO2-based photoanodes. For TiO2@20 nm-GaON core-shell nanowires a photocurrent density up to 1.10 mA cm-2 (1.23 V vs RHE) under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm-2) has been achieved, which is 14 times higher than that of TiO2 NWs. Furthermore, the oxygen vacancy formation on GaON as well as the band gap matching with TiO2 not only provides more active sites for water oxidation but also enhances light absorption to promote interfacial charge separation and migration. Density functional theory studies of model systems of GaON-modified TiO2 confirm the band gap reduction, high reducibility and ability to activate water. The highly efficient and stable systems of TiO2@GaON core-shell nanowires provide a deeper understanding and universal strategy for enhancing photoelectrochemical performance of photoanodes now available. </div>
