Abstract: Photocatalytic water splitting technology by depositing Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) will create a low cost and atmosphere sensitive natural reserve for dealing with the gas, such as planetary energy, that can provide long term energy demand. TiO2 NPs is very economical as a photocatalyst from a large area semiconductor material. Many of the disadvantages of using titanium dioxide as photocatalysts are tantamount to a decrease in the ability to absorb observable light and quick recombination of electrons photoexcited holes (e-/h+). Its movement is limited by ultraviolet illumination, actinic energy, and actinic light, which remains simply a solar spectrum. This review article sheds light on numerous issues and therefore recent research related to TiO2 nano photocatalysis to efficiently form stellar gas using cacophonic water photocatalytic technology.
