The paper shortly reviews the basic direct approaches applied in searching for viable solutions to solar fuel production.These are generally distinguished in molecular and semiconductor (non-molecular)systems,however,hybrid strategies,proposed recently,have also been included.The most promising efforts are considered,highlighting key aspects and emerging critical issues.Special attention is paid to aspects such as electrode architecture,device design,and main differences in the scientific vision and challenges to directly produce solar fuels.This overview could be useful to orientate the readers in the wide panorama of research activities concerning water splitting,natural and artificial photosynthesis,and solar fuel production through the identification of common aspects,specialties and potentialities of the many initiatives and approaches that are developing worldwide in this field with the final aim to meet world energy demand.
