One‐Dimensional Earth‐Abundant Nanomaterials for Water‐Splitting Electrocatalysts
Hydrogen fuel acquisition based on electrochemical or photoelectrochemical water splitting represents one of the most promising means for the fast increase of global energy need, capable of offering a clean and sustainable energy resource with zero carbon footprints in the environment. The key to the success of this goal is the realization of robust earth-abundant materials and cost-effective r...
متن کاملAtomically Engineered Oxide Heterostructures for Solar Water Splitting Catalysis
Solar water splitting reaction to hydrogen and oxygen provides a means of energy storage as well as producing feedstock for industrial chemical synthesis, thereby reducing fossil-fuel-derived hydrogen. Oxide semiconductors have been the primary materials candidate since the major breakthrough more than 40 years ago [1, 2]. However, the general approach of using polycrystalline samples for the s...
متن کاملIron-oxide catalyzed silicon photoanode for water splitting
This thesis presents an integrated study of high efficiency photoanodes for water splitting using silicon and iron-oxide. The fundamental limitations of silicon to water splitting applications were overcome by an ultrathin iron-oxide film stack and a pH-adjusted electrochemical environment. It was experimentally demonstrated that this functional photoanode has very strong photoactivity exceedin...
متن کاملTungsten carbide nanoparticles as efficient cocatalysts for photocatalytic overall water splitting.
Tungsten carbide exhibits platinum-like behavior, which makes it an interesting potential substitute for noble metals in catalytic applications. Tungsten carbide nanocrystals (≈5 nm) are directly synthesized through the reaction of tungsten precursors with mesoporous graphitic C(3)N(4) (mpg-C(3)N(4)) as the reactive template in a flow of inert gas at high temperatures. Systematic experiments th...
متن کاملHeptamethine Cyanine Dyes in the Design of Photoactive Carbon Nanomaterials
Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing nanomaterials, built from anionic heptamethine cyanine dyes and single-walled carbon nanotubes or few-layer graphene, are presented. The covalent linkage, using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, results in nanoconjugates that synchronize the properties of both materials, as demonstrated by an in-depth characterization study carried out by transmission electron m...
