Logic gates operated by bipolar photoelectrochemical water splitting.

چکیده
A new approach for the design of logic gates that do not involve chemical inputs is presented here. This concept is based on the polarization of a light-sensitive interface. AND and OR logic gates, working with cheap reactants, which locally triggered water splitting half reactions, were designed and operated.

Photoelectrochemical Tandem Cell with Bipolar Dye-Sensitized Electrodes for Vectorial Electron Transfer for Water Splitting
Direct water electrolysis was achieved with a novel monolithic photoelectrochemical cell. Bipolar WO3/Pt and dye-sensitized TiO2/Pt semiconductor panels, capable of vectorial electron transfer, have been used for water splitting to yield hydrogen and oxygen; light is the only energy input. The hydrogen production efficiency of this tandem cell, based on the short-circuit current, was 1.9% and t...

A new amphiphilic hemicyanine dye, (E)-1,3,3-trimethyl-2-[2-(4-N-methylN-hexadecylaminophenyl)ethenyl]indolinium iodide (MHID) has been synthesized and successfully transferred onto a semiconducting transparent indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode by Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) techniques. The photoelectric conversion properties of the dye MHID monolayer fabricated ITO electrode have been investigated i...
متن کاملSupersonic aerosol-deposited TiO2 photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical solar water splitting
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting is a promising approach for economical and environmentally friendly hydrogen production. We report here the preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 films by aerosol deposition (AD) and their performance as photoelectrodes for PEC water splitting. The AD deposited films, 0.5 to 4 mm in thickness, were analyzed to establish the dependence of water splitting ...

We report on the growth and exploitation of InGaN epilayers as a photoelectrochemical cell PEC material for direct generation of hydrogen by splitting water using photoelectrochemical hydrolysis. Under white light illumination, a drastic dependence of the photocurrent density on the In content was observed. Direct hydrogen gas generation by splitting water was accomplished using an n-type InxGa...
