Photocatalytic water splitting is an artificial photosynthesis process with photocatalysis in a photoelectrochemical cell used for the dissociation of water into its constituent parts, hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂), using either artificial or natural light. Theoretically, only light energy (photons), water, and a catalyst are needed. This topic is the focus of much research, but thus far no technology has been commercialized.
