| Abstract | The replacement of traditional non-renewable fossil fuels by sustainable energy sources is one of the most challenging problems that must be solved in the 21st century. In this context, the conversion of solar energy into stored chemical energy, especially the solar-driven splitting of water into molecular H2 and O2, has emerged as an attractive technology to solve the global energy issue. Inspired, but not constrained, by natural photosynthesis, a number of artificial systems and devices have been developed to harvest sunlight, oxidise water and reduce protons to produce useful solar fuels. This perspective reviews the recent significant developments in the field of hybrid artificial photocatalytic systems containing semiconductors as the photosensitizer, and organometallic complexes made of earth-abundant elements (Fe, Co, Ni) as the molecular catalyst, for the photogeneration of H2 from water. A brief introduction to artificial photosynthesis and water reduction is first given, followed by an explanation of the basic principles and mechanism involved in artificial solar-driven water splitting for H2 generation. Different series of hybrid artificial photocatalytic systems based on semiconductor photosensitizers and molecular catalysts that can be applied in the photogeneration of H2 from water are discussed in detail. Finally, the future perspectives of this research field are also discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
