Abstract
Photocatalysis is now being extensively researched as a viable alternative to the process of generating hydrogen gas. The Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption Reaction (SILAR) is a relatively simple photocatalyst film synthesis method, which can be performed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the study of photocatalysis development in relation to synthesis methods using SILAR is highly intriguing. The study of photocatalysis development in relation to synthesis methods employing SILAR is highly intriguing. This review will discuss the characteristics, drawbacks, and advantages of the SILAR method, as well as the factors that influence its application. Thus, in relation to future research on the synthesis of photocatalyst layers, it will be more focused and provide results that have an impact on the overall performance of photocatalysis, especially in terms of making hydrogen gas as a substitute energy source.
