Abstract

최근 전 세계적으로 이산화탄소를 포함한 대기 오염원의 배출을 줄이고 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 차세대 청정에너지원으로 '수소'를 주목하고 있다. 하지만 현재까지 사회에 유통되는 대부분의 수소는 화석연료 개질을 기반으로 생산되기 때문에 2차 환경오염의 위험을 가지고 있다. 이에 이산화탄소 배출이 없이 태양에너지로부터 물을 분해해 수소를 생산하는 광전기화학 수소 생산 기술이 주목받고 있다. 단 광전기화학 물분해 수소생산을 실현하기 위해서는 수소를 충분히 생산시킬 수 있는 충분한 전류밀도, 과전압을 최소화하는 높은 개시전위, 및 그 생산비용을 최소화 할 수 있는 저렴한 공정 등을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있는 광전극 소재 개발이 필요하다. 최근 광소자용 소재로 각광을 받는 유기금속 할라이드 페로브스카이트 소재가 상기의 조건들을 상당히 만족할 것으로 기대되고 있어 광전기화학 물분해 셀로 적용되는 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 기고문에서는 유기금속 할라이드 페로브스카이트 소재기반 광전기화학 물분해 관련 최신 연구동향과 전망을 다루고자 한다.
