Abstract: Many semiconductor-based composite materials have been developed and applied. This paper describes the structures and preparation of the semiconductor-based composite materials and the influences on the performance in photoelectrochemistry. Selected composite materials are presented with enhanced performance over their counterparts in the " neat " state. The suggestions on further studies are also discussed.

Key words: semiconductor-based, composite materials, preparation, photocatalysis
