Herein we propose novel photoelectrochemical fuel cells (PEFCs) by the introduction of a solid-state Ag2O/Ag cathode (here also term as photoelectrochemical battery). Due to the superior electrochemical properties of Ag2O/Ag, the maximum power density of our PEFCs can reach 0.94 mW cm(-2) upon UV illumination. Furthermore, our PEFCs have stable cycle operation and can be undertaken in a single ...

In order to improve photocatalytic activities of the pure anatase TiO2 under UV and visible light irradiations, a novel and efficient N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method. N-doped titania is prepared using the various nitrogen sources such as: triethylamine, N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine, ethyldiamine, 1,2-phenylenediamine, propanolamine, and...

Using a conventional thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system, ethanol vapor was enclosed in a reactor, i.e., no flow, with Co/Mo dip-coated quartz substrates to synthesize submillimeter long vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films successfully. The no-flow CVD method yielded an increase in film thickness of up to 0.11 mm compared with the normal flowing gas method f...

in this paper, we use modified laplace decomposition method to solving initial value problems (ivp) of the second order ordinary differential equations. theproposed method can be applied to linear and nonlinearproblems

The hydrogen peroxide dissociation on MgO(001) films deposited on Mo(001) surface is investigated by employing periodic density-functional theory methods. The pristine MgO(001) surface showing chemical inertness prefers the weak adsorbing molecular configuration and is extremely difficult to react with hydrogen peroxide. As far as we know, energetically favorable decomposition state of hydrogen...

the electrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (mo) on pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. the results reveal that pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes possess higher oxygen evolution overpotential than pbo2 electrodes and the electrocatalytic degradation of mo on the electrodes is direct oxidation process. the influence of experimental p...

A series of monopyrroletriamine ligands [Arpyr(Ar’)2]H3 of the form ArC4H2NHCH2N(CH2CH2NHAr’)2 (Ar = 2,4,6-mesityl (Mes), 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl (TRIP); Ar’ = C6F5, 2-tolyl (o-tol), naphthyl, 3,5-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl (HIPT), 3,5dimethylphenyl, 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl were synthesized. [Mespyr(C6F5)2]MoCl, ([Mespyr(C6F5)2]Mo = MesitylC4H2NCH2N(CH2CH2NC6F5)2) was prepared by reactio...
