Surface Modification of CoO(x) Loaded BiVO₄ Photoanodes with Ultrathin p-Type NiO Layers for Improved Solar Water Oxidation.

Abstract: Photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices that use semiconductors to absorb solar light for water splitting offer a promising way toward the future scalable production of renewable hydrogen fuels. However, the charge recombination in the photoanode/electrolyte (solid/liquid) junction is a major energy loss and hampers the PEC performance from being efficient. Here, we show that this problem is addressed by the conformal deposition of an ultrathin p-type NiO layer on the photoanode to create a buried p/n junction as well as to reduce the charge recombination at the surface trapping states for the enlarged surface band bending. Further, the in situ formed hydroxyl-rich and hydroxyl-ion-permeable NiOOH enables the dual catalysts of CoO(x) and NiOOH for the improved water oxidation activity. Compared to the CoO(x) loaded BiVO4 (CoO(x)/BiVO4) photoanode, the ∼6 nm NiO deposited NiO/CoO(x)/BiVO4 photoanode triples the photocurrent density at 0.6 V(RHE) under AM 1.5G illumination and enables a 1.5% half-cell solar-to-hydrogen efficiency. Stoichiometric oxygen and hydrogen are generated with Faraday efficiency of unity over 12 h. This strategy could be applied to other narrow band gap semiconducting photoanodes toward the low-cost solar fuel generation devices.

Dipping versus spraying: exploring the deposition conditions for speeding up layer-by-layer assembly.

Abstract: Polyelectrolyte film fabrication by successive spraying of polycation and polyanion solutions is described and compared to classic dipping. The poly(styrenesulfonate)/poly(allylamine) system is examined in detail. The influence of various parameters such as spraying time, polyelectrolyte concentration, and effect of film drying during multilayer construction is investigated. It is found that film deposition by spraying is easily controlled and very reliable. The thickness of the multilayers grows linearly with the number of deposition cycles similarly to what is observed when dipping substrates or when polyelectrolyte solutions flow over a surface. The assembly of films is very fast and leads to films with small surface roughness as estimated by atomic force microscopy and X-ray reflectometry. Spray deposition allows achieving regular multilayer growth even under conditions for which dipping fails to produce homogeneous films (e.g., extremely short contact times). Moreover, because drainage constantly rem...

A Family of Zirconium Complexes Having Two Phenoxy−Imine Chelate Ligands for Olefin Polymerization

Abstract: A zirconium complex having two phenoxy−imine chelate ligands, bis[N-(3-tert-butylsalicylidene)anilinato]zirconium(IV)dichloride (1), was found to display a very high ethylene polymerization activity of 550 kg of polymer/mmol of cat·h with a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) value of 0.9 × 104 at 25 °C at atmospheric pressure using methylalumoxane (MAO) as a cocatalyst. This activity is 1 order of magnitude larger than that exhibited by Cp2ZrCl2 under the same polymerization conditions. The use of Ph3CB(C6F5)4/i-Bu3Al in place of MAO as a cocatalyst resulted in extremely high molecular weight polyethylene, Mv 505 × 104, with an activity of 11 kg of polymer/mmol of cat·h at 50 °C. This Mv value is one of the highest values displayed by homogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts. Complex 1, using Ph3CB(C6F5)4/i-Bu3Al as a cocatalyst, provided a high molecular weight ethylene−propylene copolymer, Mv 109 × 104, with 8 kg of polymer/mmol of cat·h activity at a propylene content of 20.7 mol %.
