generation was achieved. The study used following formula for the determination of
quantum yield [29]:
Quantum yield =
2xNumber of Hydrogen molecules evolved
Number of incident photon
x100
Some other nanostructures for the generation of the H 2 from H 2 S have been
reported which are listed in Table 4.1.
4.6 Conclusion
Hydrogen sulfide, which is a major environmental pollutant can be uses as the potent
source of hydrogen. In this way, not only the harmful pollutant is eliminated but
also clean energy is generated. Transition metal-based nanomaterials are actively
involved in the liberation of hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide. The major problem
is the capturing of the hydrogen sulfide gas from various natural and anthropogenic
sources. The modern researchers should focus on developing the systems which assist
the efficient capturing of H 2 S from various sources, so that considerable amount of
hydrogen can be obtained from H 2 S.
