Background
With global warming, energy crisis and environmental pollution getting worse, there is an urgent need to find clean renewable energy sources that can replace traditional fossil energy sources. Hydrogen energy is attracting increasing research interest in the fields of chemistry, materials and energy science as an environmentally friendly, high calorific value fuel and an efficient secondary energy source. Hydrogen can be obtained by cracking and separating fossil fuel, decomposing water by light or electric catalysis, and fermenting and converting biomass.
