Abstract: The design and praparation of photocatalyst materal has played an important role in photocatalytic hydrrgen production technology. The pritnciple mechnesim of photocatalytic production of hydrogen using solar energy was introduced, and the R&D of semiconductor photocatalyst materalin the past three decades were introduced in detail. Moreover, the future development tendency of photocatalyst materal was also prospected.

Key words: photocatalysis; semiconductor; photocatalyst
