Cover Story: In this work, we present a comprehensive review of TiO2-based photocatalysts modified with metals and porphyrins for enhanced hydrogen evolution via solar-driven water splitting. The incorporation of noble and Earth-abundant metals improves charge separation and shifts the absorption edge toward the visible region, while porphyrin sensitizers extend visible light activity through their strong π-conjugated systems. Herein, we highlight key photocatalytic mechanisms and challenges and propose promising strategies for developing efficient, low-cost, and sustainable photocatalysts for clean energy generation.
