the objectives of this investigation are the studies on the effect of copper ion on photolytic degradation of ethylenediaminetertraaceticacid (edta), the effect of edta on electrolytic recovery of copper as well as the introduction of a novel combined photolytic and electrolytic cell system for simultaneous recovery of copper and the degradation of edta.in this experimental study, a photolytic ...

There are currently great needs to develop low-cost inorganic materials that can efficiently perform solar water splitting as photoelectrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen has significant potential to provide clean energy. We investigate the Si/TiO(2) nanowire heterostructures to determine their potential for the photooxidation of water. We observed that highly dense Si/TiO(2) core/shell ...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) urea splitting is of great significance for wastewater remediation and hydrogen production with low energy consumption simultaneously. Nickel hydroxides as electrocatalysts have been widely investigated electrolysis. However, it an open question how to synthesize highly catalytic Ni(OH)2 the PEC splitting. Herein, we take advantage instability metal–organic frameworks...

Two designs for an integrated photoelectrolysis system that uses a 10× concentrating solar collector have been investigated in detail. The system performance was evaluated using a multi-physics model that accounted for the properties of the tandem photoabsorbers, mass transport, and the electrocatalytic performance of the oxygen-evolution and hydrogen-evolution reactions (OER and HER, respectiv...

The only strategy for reducing fossil fuel-based energy sources is to increase the use of sustainable ones. Among renewable sources, solar can significantly contribute a future, but its discontinuous nature requires large storage capacity. Due ability be produced from primary and transformed, without greenhouse gas emissions, into mechanical, thermal, electrical energy, emitting water as by-pro...

The application of the ion-irradiation technique for modifying and designing catalyst/electrode materials are great importance in improving performance electrochemical energy devices storage conversion.

Visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic water splitting systems featuring heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts (oxynitrides, oxysulfides, organophotocatalysts) signify an environmentally friendly promising approach for the manufacturing of renewable hydrogen fuel. Semiconducting electrode materials as main constituents in PEC system have substantial effects on d...
