In the realm of photoconversion of CO2 into high-value chemicals, the importance of near-infrared (NIR) light is gradually gaining recognition. Relative to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, NIR light (700-2500 nm), accounting for ca. 50% of solar energy, ...
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) materials are the most promising copper-based catalysts for electrochemical nitrate (NO3[sbnd]) reduction to ammonia (NH3). Nevertheless, adsorption for N[sbnd]containing intermediates (NO3[sbnd], NO2[sbnd], etc.) is too[sbnd]strong, ...
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has recently been intensively investigated and has achieved significant advancement in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, a facile one-step hydrothermal method for the preparation of Sn-doped Sb2Se3 photoca ...
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the bottleneck reaction of water splitting, which can be used to generate green hydrogen from renewable electricity. Cobalt iron oxyhydroxides (CoFeOxHy) are among the most active OER catalysts in alkaline medium. How ...
In this work, we report on the effect of anodization time on the morphology, optical, and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) allowing bacterial inactivation and two organic pollutant degradation under low-intensity solar-simulated light. Sca ...
The effect of a series of triarylamine based D-pi-A organic dyes, namely RK1, BA504, BA741 and the simple L1 reference dye on solid-state dye sensitized solar cells (s-DSSCs) performances was studied. The solid hole transporting material (HTM) was obtained ...
Surface modification of ligand protected nanoparticles (NPs) can be driven by ligand exchange reactions (LER). Little is known about the mechanism of this reaction, especially when the particles are not spherical. Here, we use the intrinsic hot spots gener ...
