While silicon is widely used in photovoltaic devices, its use in applications that require photoelectrochemical reactions is constrained. This Review discusses the use of silicon for light-induced production of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and for biomass valorization, with a focus on nanostructures and tuning optoelectronic and surface properties.
