Photoinduced Biphasic Hydrogen Evolution: Decamethylosmocene as a Light-Driven Electron Donor

Hubert Girault, Imren Hatay, Heron Vrubel, Peiyu Ge, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Excitation of the weak electron donor decamethylosmocene on illumination with white light produces an excited-state species capable of reducing organically solubilized protons under biphasic conditions. Insight into the mechanism and kinetics of light-driv ...

Floating conductive catalytic nano-rafts at soft interfaces for hydrogen evolution

Hubert Girault, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Mo2C nanowires and composites of Mo2C nanoparticles formed on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Mo2C/CNT) were developed as advanced catalysts for hydrogen evolution at a polarised water–1,2-dichloroethane interface. Each catalyst acts as a catalytic nano-raft ...

Subtle Changes, Dramatic Effects: Homogeneous Catalysis of the Oxygen-Reduction Reaction

Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

A just cause: Fukuzumi and co-workers have employed experimental methods to tease out “cause and effect” relationships between subtle modification of the catalyst design or reaction conditions and the resultant changes in the homogeneous oxygen-reduction m ...

Conductive Gold Nanoparticle Mirrors at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Frédéric Gumy, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Véronique Amstutz, Dmitry Momotenko, Haiqiang Deng, Pingping Fang, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) mirrors, that exhibit both high reflectance and electrical conductance, were self-assembled at a [heptane + 1,2-dichloroethane]/water liquid/liquid interface. The highest reflectance, as observed experimentally and confirmed by fi ...

Low-cost industrially available molybdenum boride and carbide as “platinum-like” catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in biphasic liquid systems

Hubert Girault, Kurt Schenk, Xile Hu, Véronique Amstutz, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Rarely reported low-cost molybdenum boride and carbide microparticles, both of which are available in abundant quantities due to their widespread use in industry, adsorb at aqueous acid–1,2-dichloroethane interfaces and efficiently catalyse the hydrogen ev ...

MoS2 formed on Mesoporous Graphene as a Highly Active Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution

Hubert Girault, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Jie Zhu

A highly active and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution is developed based on the in situ formation of MoS2 nanoparticles on mesoporous graphene foams (MoS2/MGF). Taking advantage of its high specific surface area and its interconnected conductiv ...

Hydrogen evolution across nano-Schottky junctions at carbon supported MoS2 catalysts in biphasic liquid systems

Hubert Girault, Marco Cantoni, Xile Hu, Heron Vrubel, Peiyu Ge, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Pekka Eero Peljo

The activities of a series of MoS2-based hydrogen evolution catalysts were studied by biphasic reactions monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Carbon supported MoS2 catalysts performed best due to an abundance of catalytic edge sites and strong electronic coup ...
