With the goal of achieving large-scale H₂ production from renewable resources, water splitting into H₂ and O₂ using semiconductor photocatalysts (sometimes called artificial photosynthesis) has been studied for five decades. Unfortunately, the lack of rigour and reproducibility in the data collection and analysis of experimental results has hindered progress in the field. This Primer provides a comprehensive overview of proper characterization and evaluation of photocatalysts for overall water splitting. In particular, the Primer covers various pitfalls in photocatalysis research, best practices for reproducibility and reliable methods for conducting rigorous experiments. As a result, the recommendations are intended to reduce false positives in the literature and to promote progress towards a practical technology for producing H₂ from water by using sunlight.
