Visible-light driven water oxidation and oxygen production at soft interfaces

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Julieta Soledad Riva, Sara Natalia Moya Betancourt

The visible light driven water oxidation reaction (WOR) by the organic electron acceptor 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-quinodimethane (TCNQF(4)) was studied at the water|butyronitrile interface. The WOR was performed at neutral pH, and without any ...

Water photo-oxidation on self-assembled organic/Co3O4 metal junctions in biphasic systems

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Julieta Soledad Riva

A microwater vertical bar butyronitrile (W vertical bar BCN) interface was used to study the effect of the interfacial chemical polarization on the efficiency of the visible-light induced water oxidation reaction (WOR) by the electron acceptor/ photosensit ...

Visible-Light-Driven Water Oxidation on Self-Assembled Metal-Free Organic@Carbon Junctions at Neutral pH

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Julieta Soledad Riva, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva, Dominika Baster

Sustainable water oxidation requires low-cost, stable, and efficient redox couples, photosensitizers, and catalysts. Here, we introduce the in situ self-assembly of metal-atom-free organic-based semiconductive structures on the surface of carbon supports. ...

How to polarise an interface with ions: the discrete Helmholtz model

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

The distribution of electrolytes in an electric field usually relies on theories based on the Poisson-Boltzmann formalism. These models predict that, in the case of a metallic electrode, ionic charges screen the electrode potential, leading to concentratio ...

Structure and reactivity of the polarised liquid–liquid interface: what we know and what we do not

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Pekka Eero Peljo, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

Charge transfer phenomena at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) are electrochemical reactions taking place in soft media. Owing to their liquid nature, the ITIES shows a large panel of electrochemical reactions including ele ...

Standard ion transfer potential at the water|butyronitrile interface

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Victor Costa Bassetto, Julieta Soledad Riva

Butyronitrile is an organic solvent stable enough to be used in photochemical reactions at liquid/liquid interfaces. However, it provides a rather short polarisation window making the analysis of ion transfer across the water|butyronitrile interface challe ...

Two dimensional diffusion-controlled triplet–triplet annihilation kinetics

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Pierre-François Marie Brevet, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Morgan Kazmierczak

Diffusion controlled chemical reactions are usually observed in three dimensionalmedia. In contrast, planar bimolecular reactions taking place between reagents adsorbed at a soft interface are two-dimensional and therefore cannot be studied within the same ...

A Self-Assembled Organic/Metal Junction for Water Photo-Oxidation

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Victor Costa Bassetto, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Julieta Soledad Riva, Terumasa Omatsu

We report the in situ self-assembly of TTF, TTF•+, and BF4 − or PF6 − into p-type semiconductors on the surface of Pt microparticles dispersed in water/acetonitrile mixtures. The visible light photoactivation of these selfassemblies leads to water oxidatio ...

Photosensitized Hydrogen Evolution on a Floating Electrocatalyst Coupled to Electrochemical Recycling

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Terumasa Omatsu

Photoexcited protonated tetrathiafulvalene (HTTF+) was found to act as a photosensitizer, injecting electrons into Pt microparticles (floating electrocatalysts) to produce H2 and TTF•+ in acidic acetonitrile. In addition, TTF•+ was electrochemically reduce ...

Redox Electrocatalysis of Floating Nanoparticles: Determining Electrocatalytic Properties without the Influence of Solid Supports

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Evgeny Smirnov, Thomas James Stockmann, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

Redox electrocatalysis (catalysis of electron-transfer reactions by floating conductive particles) is discussed from the point-of-view of Fermi level equilibration, and an overall theoretical framework is given. Examples of redox electrocatalysis in soluti ...
