Catalytic activity of Ni3S2 and the effects of reactor wall in the hydrogen production from water were investigated under hydrothermal conditions using hydrogen sulphide (H2S) as a reductant. It was found that Ni3S2 catalysed the hydrogen production from water and may act as a semi-conductor...

Since the start of its economic reforms in 1978, China's energy prices relative to other prices have increased. At the same time, its energy intensity, i.e., energy consumption per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), has declined dramatically, by about 70%, in spite of increases in energy...
