The conversion of solar to chemical energy is one of the central processes considered in the emerging renewable energy economy. Hydrogen production from water splitting over particulate semiconductor catalysts has often been proposed as a simple and a cost-effective method for large-scale production. In this review, we summarize the basic concepts of the overall water splitting (in the absence of sacrificial agents) using particulate photocatalysts, with a focus on their synthetic methods and the role of the so-called “co-catalysts”. Then, a focus is then given on improving light absorption in which the Z-scheme concept and the overall system efficiency are discussed. A section on reactor design and cost of the overall technology is given, where the possibility of the different technologies to be deployed at a commercial scale and the considerable challenges ahead are discussed. To date, the highest reported efficiency of any of these systems is at least one order of magnitude lower than that deserving consideration for practical applications.

Hydrogen energy has been considered as a clean alternative energy source substituting fossil fuels. Many countries consider it as the ultimate solution to the energy and environmental problems, even draw up the blueprint of “hydrogen economy” and heavily invest for research and development. However, after decades of research, the hydrogen energy technologies are still being prospective and explored, and haven’t been put into large scale production by now. This article begins with expatiation on the essence of hydrogen energy, makes analysis of various big challenges for hydrogen energy technologies, and reaches the conclusion that we should hold the rational and cautious attitude towards hydrogen energy source because the transition to hydrogen economy of unclear prospect must pay a very high cost, which is unbearable for the social and economic development status of developing countries.

A potential method by which society's reliance on fossil fuels can be lessened is via the large-scale utilization of biofuels derived from the secondary cell walls of woody plants; however, there remain a number of technical challenges to the large-scale production of biofuels. Many of these challenges emerge from the underlying complexity of the secondary cell wall. The challenges associated with lignin have been well explored elsewhere, but the dicot cell wall components of hemicellulose and pectin also present a number of difficulties. Here, we provide an overview of the research wherein pectin and xylan biosynthesis has been altered, along with investigations on the function of irregular xylem 8 (IRX8) and glycosyltransferase 8D (GT8D), genes putatively involved in xylan and pectin synthesis. Additionally, we provide an analysis of the evidence in support of two hypotheses regarding GT8D and conclude that while there is evidence to lend credence to these hypotheses, there are still questions that require further research and examination.

Abstract Abstract The development of robust and inexpensive electrocatalysts that are capable of catalyzing the overall water splitting reaction is highly essential for large scale production of hydrogen. Herein, we report the successful liquid-liquid extraction and hydrothermal synthesis of a highly stable columbite-tantalite electrocatalysts (Fe0.79Mn0.21Nb0.16Ta0.84O6) with remarkable HER and OER performance in alkaline media. The extracted Fe0.79Mn0.21Nb0.16Ta0.84O6 electrocatalyst shows a low overpotential of 190.2 and 284.8 mV at 10/mA cm-2 in current density in situ for HER and OER, respectively. The electrocatalyst also exhibited low Tafel slopes of 56.36 mV/dec for HER and 112.85 mV/dec for OER, verifying their rapid catalytic kinetics. The electrolyzer maintained the cell voltage of 1.63 V and potential-time stability close to that of Pt/C & RuO2/C. The intrinsic mechanism for the exceptional HER and OER performance was further unravelled through first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, predicting very low Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH* ≈ 0.09 eV) and low overpotential (η = 0.47 eV at the Mn sites) for OER on the Fe0.75Mn0.25Ta1.875Nb0.125O6 catalyst. Our results demonstrate that columbite-tantalite electrocatalysts offer great promise for efficient overall water splitting. Graphical abstract

The literature on female labour in Third World countries has become quite extensive. India, being comparatively more advanced industrially, and in view of its size and population, presents a pictures of multiplicity of problems which face the female labour market. However, the author has also included Mexico in this analytical study. It is interesting to see the characteristics of developing industrialisation in two different societies: the Indian society, which is conservative, and the Mexican society, which is progressive. In the first chapter of the book, the author explains that he is not concerned with the process of industrialisation and female labour employed at different levels of work, but that he is interested in forms of production and women's employment in large-scale production, petty commodity production, marginal small production, and self-employment in the informal sector. It is only by analysis of these forms that the picture of females having a lower status is understood in its social and political setting.
