Solar hydrogen production with semiconductor metal oxides: new directions in experiment and theory.
An overview of a collaborative experimental and theoretical effort toward efficient hydrogen production via photoelectrochemical splitting of water into di-hydrogen and di-oxygen is presented here. We present state-of-the-art experimental studies using hematite and TiO(2) functionalized with gold nanoparticles as photoanode materials, and theoretical studies on electro and photo-catalysis of wa...
متن کاملThermally Stable Metal-Organic Framework-Templated Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Metal Sulfides: Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.
Porous nanostructured materials are demonstrated to be very promising in catalysis due to their well accessible active sites. Thermally stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as hard templates are successfully utilized to afford porous metal oxides and subsequently metal sulfides by a nanocasting method. The resultant metal oxides/sulfides show considerable Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface ...
متن کاملField-induced resistive switching in metal-oxide interfaces
We investigate the polarity-dependent field-induced resistive switching phenomenon driven by electric pulses in perovskite oxides. Our data show that the switching is a common occurrence restricted to an interfacial layer between a deposited metal electrode and the oxide. We determine through impedance spectroscopy that the interfacial layer is no thicker than 10 nm and that the switch is accom...
متن کاملIn situ photo-assisted deposition and photocatalysis of ZnIn2S4/transition metal chalcogenides for enhanced degradation and hydrogen evolution under visible light.
The effective immobilization of a transition chalcogenide co-catalyst via an in situ aqueous photo-assisted deposition technique has shown great accessibility to complex ZnIn2S4 host hierarchical nanostructured materials with homogeneous distribution. The complementary photo-assisted deposition readily deposits finely-dispersed co-catalyst particles and simultaneously generates photocatalytic h...
متن کاملSolar Light-Induced Decolorization of Safranin O Using Unmodified and Gold-Modified Semiconductor Oxides
Unmodified and gold-modified semiconductor oxides were used for the complete decolorization of non-buffered aqueous safranin O solutions. Photocatalytic properties of commercially available ZnO and TiO2 (anatase nanopowder) were compared with those of gold-modified ZnO (Au/ZnO). Au/ZnO was obtained from commercial ZnO powder through direct current sputter coating. ZnO-ba...
