Abstract: The possible and current technology for generating hydrogen is listed. The advantages of hydrogen as a fuel are also indicated. Details of direct electrolysis are pointed out. Steam reforming as a method for hydrogen production is considered. The biochemical hydrogen production route is also dealt with. Thermochemical, photochemical, photo-electrochemical (PEC), and photo-catalytic routes for hydrogen production are considered. Developments in the PEC and the photo-catalytic decomposition of water are considered. Modifications of semiconductors and nano-state semiconductors in PEC water decomposition are also discussed.
