Journal ArticleDOI
Got TiO2 nanotubes? Lithium ion intercalation can boost their photoelectrochemical performance.
TL;DR: A nearly three-fold increase in the photoconversion efficiency (IPCE) was observed upon intercalation of Li(+) ions into TiO(2) nanotube arrays and the analysis of the V(oc) decay following termination of UV light shows a significant decrease in the rate of recombination of accumulated electrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Water Oxidation Catalyst IrO2 in Shuttling Photogenerated Holes Across TiO2 Interface
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a mechanistic and kinetic insight into the catalytic role of IrO2 in the photogenerated hole transfer process in a colloidal TiO2 suspension in ethanol containing 5% acetic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional Screening of the Pb–Bi–Mo–O System. Spontaneous Formation of a Composite of p-PbMoO4 and n-Bi2O3 with Improved Photoelectrochemical Efficiency and Stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structure of Pb-Bi-Mo oxide was studied by X-ray diffraction, indicating that a composite of p-PbMoO4 and n-Bi2O3 coexisted as a heterostructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoactive porous silicon nanopowder.

TL;DR: Bulk processing of porous silicon nanoparticles of 50-300 nm size and surface area of 25-230 m(2)/g has been developed using a combustion synthesis method and shows strong dependence on the thickness of the intrinsic silica shell that encompasses the nanoparticles and hinders interparticle electron transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of thin films and commercial carbon supported platinum and gold catalysts for sulfur dioxide oxidation, the primary electrochemical oxidation reaction in the Hybrid-sulfur (HyS) thermochemical process, was evaluated.
