Abstract:
The present disrupted scenario of the world calls for urgent attention to the need for renewable resources as an energy source for harnessing and feeding uninterrupted power supply to mankind. Amidst this, Photocatalysis (PC) and Photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) are some of the most budding methods of exploiting solar energy. LaFeO3-based systems are eligible for PC/PEC Hydrogen (H2) generation, incorporating the process of water splitting, etc. It would be fair to mention that the above methods can mimic the natural process of photosynthesis. This review comprises an encyclopedia of recent advancements in LaFeO3 and modified systems towards sustainable Photocatalytic and Photoelectrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reactions (HER). Besides the challenges, the review presents a clear and brief idea for the scientific research community on paving the future in upscaling and industrializing the LaFeO3-mediated green fuel (H2) generation to meet global energy needs.

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the...
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
