中文摘要：

发展清洁可再生能源是人类面临的巨大技术挑战，氢气作为一种理想的清洁能源，其制取及储运技术近年来都取得了很大进展。综述了利用太阳能分解水制氢的基本途径及发展现状，主要包括电解水制氢及人工模拟光合作用制氢、半导体光解水及其催化剂以及最有希望实现的高温热化学循环分解水制氢技术。

英文摘要：

Development of a clean and renewable energy source is one of the key technological challenges for mankind. Hydrogen is a potential ideal energy carrier, and great progress has been achieved for hydrogen production and storage in the past decade. Herein, principal methods and development status of hydrogen production from water- splitting by using solar energy are reviewed, whose content covers the artificial leaf system for splitting water via the photosynthetic process, the visible light-absorbing semiconductors and efficient co-catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting, and the most-likely-to-succeed thermochemical water splitting cycles.
