Green hydrogen from photocatalytic water-splitting and lignocellulosic reforming is a significant proposition for renewable energy storage in global net-zero policies strategies. Although have been investigated, their integration novel. Furthermore, biosynthesis can store the evolved fix atmospheric carbon dioxide biocathode chamber. The chamber coupled to combined lignocellulose oxidation an a...

In recent years, combinatorial methods have attracted a great deal of attention. Among them, sono-combining techniques have shown a significant potential as an economic technology applicable and environment-friendly technology for wastewater treatment. In this study, Sono Electrochemical SE, Sono Photo Electrochemical SPE and Sono Photo Electro Catalytic SPEC techniques were investigated for de...

Bubble formation and growth on a water-splitting semiconductor photoelectrode under illumination with above-bandgap radiation provide a direct measurement of the gas-evolving reaction rate. Optical microscopy was used to record the bubble growth on single-crystal strontium titanate immersed in basic aqueous electrolyte and illuminated with UV light at 351/364 nm from a focused argon laser. By a...

Recently, germanium selenide (GeSe) has emerged as a promising van der Waals semiconductor for photovoltaics, solar light harvesting, and water photoelectrolysis cells. Contrary to previous reports claiming perfect ambient stability based on experiments with techniques without surface sensitivity, here, by means of surface-science investigations density functional theory, it is demonstrated tha...

Poor oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis limits the efficiency of H2 production from water electrolysis and photoelectrolysis routes to large-scale energy storage. Despite nearly a century of research, the factors governing the activity of OER catalysts are not well understood. In this Perspective, we discuss recent advances in understanding the OER in alkaline media for earth-abundant, f...
