Thermochemical water splitting cycles
Two processes to effect splitting of the water molecule by means of an external heat source are competing for adoption, for the long-term production of hydrogen: high-temperature electrolysis, and splitting the water molecule through a succession of chemical reactions: a thermochemical cycle. Both processes form part of a strategy of voluntary reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions, and of alter...
متن کاملSolar water splitting cells.
Energy harvested directly from sunlight offers a desirable approach toward fulfilling, with minimal environmental impact, the need for clean energy. Solar energy is a decentralized and inexhaustible natural resource, with the magnitude of the available solar power striking the earth’s surface at any one instant equal to 130 million 500 MW power plants.1 However, several important goals need to ...
متن کاملPhotoinduced water splitting in pyridine water clusters.
Ab initio calculations predict that pyridine (Py) can act as a photo-catalyst to split water by the absorption of a UV photon following the reaction Py-H2O + hν → PyH˙ + OH˙. To test this prediction, we performed two types of experiments: in the first, we characterize the electronic spectroscopy of the PyH˙ radical in the gas phase. In the second, we evidence the reaction through the UV excitat...
متن کاملPhoto corrosion of titania nanotubes within water splitting reaction
Titania nanotubes (TNT) prepared by anodization of Ti foils were used for water splitting in a standalone cell. The concentration polarization between the anode side (1M NaOH) and cathode side (0.5 M H2SO4) ensured that the water splitting reaction could take place with no external bias and separate H2 and O2 evolution could be achieved. The destructi...
متن کاملWater Quality and Standards
Water is an essential material for all organisms on earth to sustain life, and a satisfactory water supply must be made available to consumers. It is required that drinking water not be contaminated by microbes or chemical substances harmful to human health. Pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa in drinking water cause waterborne infectious diseases. The pollution source, pathogenicity, and...
