Abstract: In recent years, research on hydrogen (H2) production for alternative and environmentally-benign energy solution as fuel, storage medium and feedstock has been one of the most highly demanded subjects. It aims to reduce the pressures set by carbon dioxide emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel supplies. Nevertheless, largescale H2 production is limited by its high cost and low yield. The distinct photo-electrochemical characteristics of catalysts have shown them to have great promise for enhancing the production of H2. This article presents an updated and comprehensive review of enhanced H2 production using various catalysts in biological, thermochemical, and water-based processes. Various operational parameters (reactor configuration, catalyst dosage, catalyst type, catalyst modification methods, temperature, pH, and inoculum type) are summarized to improve the H2 production performance and reduce the environmental impacts and costs of these processes. For instance, in dark fermentation, biological H2 production is enhanced by 3.2-38 % with certain metal catalysts. Overall, results revealed that catalysts, specifically inorganic catalysts such as iron, nickel, titanium oxide, and silver, have improved the production rate of H2. This review has provided the application fields and working principles of catalysts in different H2 production processes. Finally, we suggested the main concerns that need to be prioritized in the long-term advancement of H2 production using catalysts.
