Metal-encapsulated organolead halide perovskite photocathode for solar-driven hydrogen evolution in water
Lead-halide perovskites have triggered the latest breakthrough in photovoltaic technology. Despite the great promise shown by these materials, their instability towards water even in the presence of low amounts of moisture makes them, a priori, unsuitable for their direct use as light harvesters in aqueous solution for the production of hydrogen through water splitting. Here, we present a simpl...
متن کاملHighly efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from neutral aqueous solution by a water-soluble anionic cobalt(II) porphyrin.
We report the use of a water-soluble anionic cobalt(ii) tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (CoTPPS) as a stable, active, and efficient catalyst for electrocatalytic H2 generation from neutral H2O without any organic additives. The molecule features nearly quantitative Faradaic efficiency with a turnover frequency of ∼1.83 s(-1) measured over 1 h and a turnover number of 1.9 × 10(4) moles of H...
متن کاملBioinspired molecular co-catalysts bonded to a silicon photocathode for solar hydrogen evolution.
The production of fuels from sunlight represents one of the main challenges in the development of a sustainable energy system. Hydrogen is the simplest fuel to produce and although platinum and other noble metals are efficient catalysts for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution, earth-abundant alternatives are needed for large-scale use. We show that bioinspired molecular clusters based on mo...
متن کاملHighly efficient molecular nickel catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production from neutral water.
A series of nickel complexes containing N5-pentadentate ligands with different amine-to-pyridine ratios were studied for electrochemical H2 production in neutral water and the one with a diamine-tripyridine ligand displays a TON of up to 308,000 over 60 h electrolysis at -1.25 V vs. SHE, with a Faradaic efficiency of ∼91%.
متن کاملAir-stable all-inorganic nanocrystal solar cells processed from solution.
We introduce an ultrathin donor-acceptor solar cell composed entirely of inorganic nanocrystals spin-cast from solution. These devices are stable in air, and post-fabrication processing allows for power conversion efficiencies approaching 3% in initial tests. This demonstration elucidates a class of photovoltaic devices with potential for stable, low-cost power generation.
