Abstract: 
Combining different light-absorbing materials for the formation of semiconductor heterojunctions is a very effective strategy for preparing highly active photocatalyst and photoelectrochemical systems. Moreover, the combination of solid state semiconductors with polymers or molecular absorbers expands the possible combinations of materials to alter light absorption and optimize charge carrier separation. In this chapter, different strategies to prepare such composites are presented, highlighting the necessity of intimate interfacial contact for optimum charge carrier transfer. Moreover, the most recent developments and improvements in the formation of heterojunctions and composite photocatalyst systems based on semiconductor solids are presented.
