Photocatalytic H2 production

加拿大公民的生活水平经常被评为世界上最好的，这让他们感到自豪。加拿大丰富的资源，特别是大量的化石燃料和水力发电，极大地提高了我们的生活质量。然而，随着世界人口到2050年增长到100亿，地球上不可再生的燃料资源逐渐枯竭，对能源的需求将超过目前预计的储量。尽管加拿大的能源储备可能会在可预见的未来满足我们自己对能源的需求，但它们也可能减缓我们对即将到来的世界能源危机和全球气候变化的反应，更重要的是，它们会出于自满而阻碍我们对替代能源研究的承诺。这将是一个严重的错误，因为与未来几代能源独立程度较低的国家相比，加拿大人在科学和技术上将处于劣势。因此，这一特别战略赠款周期可能会刺激加拿大参与替代能源研究和相应的培训。

Canadian citizens are proud to have a standard of living that has routinely been selected as among the best in the world. The wealth of resources found in Canada, in particular the large quantity of fossil fuels and hydroelectric power, has contributed greatly to our quality of life. However, as the world's population grows towards 10 billion by 2050, and the Earth's non-renewable fuel sources are gradually depleted, the demand for energy will exceed currently projected reserves. Although Canadian energy reserves may satiate our own demands for energy in the foreseeable future, they may also slow our response to the impending world energy crisis and global climate change, and more significantly, impede our commitment to alternative energy research out of complacency. This would be a grave error as Canadians would be at a scientific and technological disadvantage compared to less energy independent nations for generations to come. Thus, this special strategic grant cycle may stimulate Canada's involvement in alternative energy research and the concomitant training of
