چکیده
www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 344 2 MAY 2014 COVER A blood star (Henricia leviuscula) near Whidbey Island, Washington state. It is one of 10 species of sea star that appear to be affected by a mysterious wasting syndrome on the west and east coasts of North America. Various levels of mortality have been confi rmed in 10 other species, making this the largest documented die-off of echinoderms. See page 464 and http://scim.ag/slide_6183.

Integrating a Semitransparent, Fullerene-Free Organic Solar Cell in Tandem with a BiVO4 Photoanode for Unassisted Solar Water Splitting.
We report an unassisted solar water splitting system powered by a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-containing semitransparent organic solar cell. Two major merits of this fullerene-free solar cell enable its integration with a BiVO4 photoanode. First is the high open circuit voltage and high fill factor displayed by this single junction solar cell, which yields sufficient power to effect water splitt...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Hydrogen Generation from Water using Solar Radiation
Solar photocatalytic water splitting is considered as a potential method for hydrogen production as both solar energy and water are renewable. The major task is the design of suitable photocatalysts, which can work efficiently under solar radiation, especially under visible light. The performance of the visible light active photocatalysts synthesized till date is far from satisfactory for any p...
متن کاملRecent progress in oxynitride photocatalysts for visible-light-driven water splitting
Photocatalytic water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen is a method to directly convert light energy into storable chemical energy, and has received considerable attention for use in large-scale solar energy utilization. Particulate semiconductors are generally used as photocatalysts, and semiconductor properties such as bandgap, band positions, and photocarrier mobility can heavily impact phot...
متن کاملHetero-type dual photoanodes for unbiased solar water splitting with extended light harvesting
Metal oxide semiconductors are promising photoelectrode materials for solar water splitting due to their robustness in aqueous solutions and low cost. Yet, their solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiencies are still not high enough for practical applications. Here we present a strategy to enhance the efficiency of metal oxides, hetero-type dual photoelectrodes, in which two photoanodes of differe...
متن کاملRoles of cocatalysts in photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis.
Since the 1970s, splitting water using solar energy has been a focus of great attention as a possible means for converting solar energy to chemical energy in the form of clean and renewable hydrogen fuel. Approaches to solar water splitting include photocatalytic water splitting with homogeneous or heterogeneous photocatalysts, photoelectrochemical or photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) water splitting...
