Light-induced water oxidation at silicon electrodes functionalized with a cobalt oxygen-evolving catalyst.
Integrating a silicon solar cell with a recently developed cobalt-based water-splitting catalyst (Co-Pi) yields a robust, monolithic, photo-assisted anode for the solar fuels process of water splitting to O(2) at neutral pH. Deposition of the Co-Pi catalyst on the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)-passivated p-side of a np-Si junction enables the majority of the voltage generated by the solar cell to be u...
متن کاملA comprehensive comparison of dye-sensitized NiO photocathodes for solar energy conversion.
We investigated a range of different mesoporous NiO electrodes prepared by different research groups and private firms in Europe to determine the parameters which influence good quality photoelectrochemical devices. This benchmarking study aims to solve some of the discrepancies in the literature regarding the performance of p-DSCs due to differences in the quality of the device fabrication. Th...
متن کاملEnhanced Electrocatalytic Activity for Water Splitting on NiO/Ni/Carbon Fiber Paper
Large-scale growth of low-cost, efficient, and durable non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for water splitting is crucial for future renewable energy systems. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides a promising route for depositing uniform thin coatings of electrocatalysts, which are useful in many technologies, including the splitting of water. In this communication, we report the growth of ...

The photocathodic H2-evolution performance of Ni–Mo-coated radial n p junction Si microwire (Si MW) arrays has been evaluated on the basis of thermodynamic energy-conversion efficiency as well as solar cell figures of merit. The Ni–Mo-coated np-Si MW electrodes yielded open-circuit photovoltages (Voc) of 0.46 V, short-circuit photocurrent densities (Jsc) of 9.1 mA cm , and thermodynamically bas...
متن کاملInvestigation on Stability of Electroplated-Sulfurized CuInS2- based Photocathode Modified with an In2S3 Layer for H2 Evolution under Various pH Conditions
We investigated photoelectrochemical water splitting properties of Pt-In2S3/CuInS2 photocathodes from near neutral toward basic condition (pH 6, 9, and 13). Half-cell solar-to-hydrogen (HC-STH) of Pt-In2S3/CuInS2 measured under 0.2 M NaH2PO4 was the highest when the pH of the solution was 13 (4.7% at 0.42 V vs. RHE) with a maximum photocurrent density of 16.3 mA cm-2 (at 0 V vs. RHE) and onset ...
