Hydrogen is considered as the ideal energy for the sustainable development of our society. The key to photocatalytic hydrogen production from water decomposition reaction is to obtain photocatalysts with high activity. The mechanism of the photocatalytic decomposition of water is described in this paper. Recent research progress in the photocatalytic decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen by TiO2, transition metal oxides, layered metal oxides, and photo-biological catalyst as well as other some new composites is summarized. The ways of improving their photocatalytic activities are discussed, and the problem and prospects of photocatalytic decomposition of water are previewed.
