The Future of Hydrogen as an Energy Source?

One of most active research areas nowadays is the use of solar energy to produce hydrogen by so-called 鈥渨ater-splitting鈥 reactions. Dr. Butler has co-authored with colleagues from the U.K. and Pakistan a comprehensive review on this topic entitled 鈥淩ecent Developments and Perspectives in CdS-based Photocatalysts for Water Splitting鈥. This review examines recent work in attempts to improve the photocatalytic efficiency and stability of CdS for H2 production from water . Dr. Butler has also been busy for the past two years co-authoring several other wide-ranging review articles with colleagues at 不良研究所 (Dr. Scott Bohle) and throughout the world on 鈥溾 (Bioinorganic Chemistry & Applications), 鈥溾 (Coordination Chemistry Reviews), 鈥溾 (Applied Spectroscopy Reviews), 鈥溾 (Green Chemistry), and 鈥溾 (Contemporary Chemistry).
