With growing concerns on future energy supplies, solar energy appears as an energy source whose potential remains to be tapped at a large scale. In the last two decades, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been considered as a competitive means to conve ...
The kinetic competition between electron-hole recombination and water oxidation is a key consideration for the development of efficient photoanodes for solar driven water splitting. In this study, we employed three complementary techniques, transient absor ...
A physical model is presented for the semiconductor electrode of a photoelectrochemical cell. The model accounts for the potential drop in the Helmholtz layer and thus enables description of both band edge pinning and unpinning. The model is based on the c ...
The electrochemical behavior of alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrodes prepared by spray pyrolysis with different thicknesses was examined under dark and illumination conditions. The main charge transport phenomena occurring in the PEC cell photoelectrodes were chara ...
Photo-induced charge separation and charge transport are fundamental processes in many energy conversion techniques, where light is converted into chemical energy (PEC), into electrical energy (solar cells) or in the opposite sense if electrical energy is ...
The actualization of a hydrogen economy requires cost-effective and environmentally benign solutions to hydrogen production. Chemical energy in the form of hydrogen is more interesting than electricity to satisfy our ever-increasing energy demand because i ...
The world needs to think about the after fossil fuel era and while the sun baths the earth with a tremendous amount of energy, man must learn how to harvest and store it in order to dispose of a continuous supply meeting his needs. Water photo-electrolysis ...
This paper addresses the origin of the decrease in the external electrical bias required for water photoelectrolysis with hematite photoanodes, observed following surface treatments of such electrodes. We consider two alternative surface modifications: a c ...
The tandem photoelectochemical (PEC) cell based on oxide semiconductors for water splitting offers a potentially inexpensive route for solar hydrogen generation. At the heart of the device, a nanostructured photoanode for water oxidation is connected in se ...
The photoelectrochemical reduction of water or CO2 is a promising route to sustainable solar fuels but hinges on the identification of a stable photoanode for water oxidation. Semiconductor oxides like Fe2O3 and BiVO4 have been gaining significant attentio ...
