Photochemical splitting of water into H2 and O2 using solar energy is a process of great economic and environmental interest. Since the discovery of the first water splitting system based on TiO2 and Pt in 1972 by Fujishima and Honda, over 130 inorganic materials have been discovered as catalysts for this reaction. This review discusses the known inorganic catalysts with a focus on structure–ac...
As the biological activation and oxidation of water takes place at an inorganic cluster of the stoichiometry CaMn4 O5 , manganese oxide is one of the materials of choice in the quest for versatile, earth-abundant water splitting catalysts. To probe basic concepts and aid the design of artificial water-splitting molecular catalysts, a hierarchical modeling strategy was employed that explores clu...
Based on first principles calculations, we predict semihydrogenated graphitic BN (sh-BN) sheet is a potential metal-free visible-light driven photocatalyst for water splitting. The ground state of sh-BN is a strip-like antiferromagnetic semiconductor with a band gap suitable for visible-light absorption. The redox potentials of water splitting are all located inside the band gap and the probabi...
Theoretical limiting efficiencies have a critical role in determining technological viability and expectations for device prototypes, as evidenced by the photovoltaics community's focus on detailed balance. However, due to their multicomponent nature, photoelectrochemical devices do not have an equivalent analogue to detailed balance, and reported theoretical efficiency limits vary depending on...
This paper presents a novice heuristic algorithm, Water Flow-like Algorithm (WFA), for solving discrete optimization problems, particularly the bin packing problems. WFA simulates solution agents as water flows traversing the terrain mapped from the objective function. Governed by the gravitation force, water flows from higher attitudes to lower ones. Driven by the fluid momentum, water flows a...
Zinc oxide nanowire photoanodes are chemically stabilized by conformal growth of an ultrathin shell of titania through atomic layer deposition, permitting their stable operation for water splitting in a strongly alkaline solution. Because of the passivation of zinc oxide surface charge traps by titania coating, core/shell nanowire arrays supply a photocurrent density of 0.5 mA/cm under simulate...
Two-step water-splitting with a carbon-bearing Ni(II) ferrite (CBNF) at 300°C has been studied. The chemical analysis of the solid phase showed that the CBNF was gradually oxidized during repeated water splitting, but the evolved H2 amount is 1.5-2 times larger than that expected &om the oxidation of the CBNF. Following two types of hydrogen evolution reactions are considered to be participated...
Hydrogen production from water splitting by photo/photoelectron-catalytic process is a promising route to solve both fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution at the same time. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes have attracted much interest due to their large specific surface area and highly ordered structure, which has led to promising potential applications in photocatalytic degradatio...
In the search for optimized cathode materials for high-temperature electrolysis, mixed conducting oxides are highly promising candidates. This study deals with fundamentally novel insights into the relation between surface chemistry and electrocatalytic activity of lanthanum ferrite based electrolysis cathodes. For this means, near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and...
The challenge of safe hydrogen storage has limited the practical application of solar-driven photocatalytic water splitting. It is hard to isolate hydrogen from oxygen products during water splitting to avoid unwanted reverse reaction or explosion. Here we propose a multi-layer structure where a carbon nitride is sandwiched between two graphene sheets modified by different functional groups. Fi...
