Cathodic shift in onset potential of solar oxygen evolution on hematite by 13-group oxide overlayers

Michael Graetzel, Kevin Sivula, Florian Le Formal, Nicolas Tétreault, Maurin Cornuz, Jérémie Minh-Châu Brillet, Takashi Hisatomi

The onset potential of photoelectrochemical water oxidation on ultrathin hematite was improved by up to 200 mV by the chemical bath deposition of 13-group oxides as overlayers. It is proposed that the corundum-type overlayers released lattice strain of the ...

Catalytic coating of virus particles with zinc oxide

Klaus Kern, Sinan Balci

We show that the rod-shaped Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be coated with the wide band gap semiconductor zinc oxide by electroless deposition under mild reaction conditions. The process involves pretreatment with aqueous Pd(II), followed by nucleation of ...

In situ Reduction and Oxidation of Nickel from Solid Oxide Fuel Cells in a Transmission Electron Microscope

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Antonin Faes

Environmental transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize in situ the reduction and oxidation of nickel from a Ni/YSZ solid oxide fuel cell anode support between 300-500°C. The reduction is done under low hydrogen pressure. The reduction init ...

Redox study of anode supported solid oxide fuel cell

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes

The common technology for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is based on a cermet anode of nickel with yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ), often used as the supporting structure. One of the main limitations of this anode technology is the redox tolerance. In thi ...

Highly dispersed PTFE/Co3O4 flexible films as photocatalyst showing fast kinetic performance for the discoloration of azo-dyes under solar irradiation

Albert Renken, Juan Kiwi, Lioubov Kiwi, Michaël Bensimon, Danièle Laub

Small nanosized clusters of Co3O4 coated on PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) flexible film is reported as a novel supported photocatalyst effective in the fast discoloration of the azo-dye Orange II under simulated solar radiation in the presence of oxone (2 ...

Formation of Metal Nano- and Micro-patterns on Self-Assembled Monolayers Using Pulsed Laser Deposition through Nanostencils and Electroless Deposition

Jürgen Brugger, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart

Patterns of noble-metal structures on top of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au and SiO2 substrates have been prepared following two approaches. The first approach consists of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of Pt, Pd, Au, or Cu through nano- and microst ...

Metal and metaloxide nanostructures on and in plant viruses

Sinan Balci

Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is composed of 2130 identical coat protein subunits following the right-handed helix of an accompanying RNA strand to produce a 300 nm hollow cylinder with an outer diameter of 18 nm and a 4 nm wide central channel. In this work, ...
