In summary, the fabrication of oxide photoelectrodes is still attractive and challenging filed towards various applications. Although some fast preparation methods have been developed, the performance of related oxide photoelectrodes are still relatively low compared to their maximum theoretical performance. As a perspective on oxide photoelectrodes, we offer suggestions for the fast fabrication of photoelectrodes. First, the formation mechanism of photoelectrodes should be elucidated in details and how to prepare high performance photoelectrodes should be answered. Second, the devices for fast fabrication photoelectrodes should be simplistic and low cost. Furthermore, more effort should be put on developing large scale preparation strategies by fast annealing processes.
