The weakness of nickel-based solid oxide fuel cell anodes is their low ability to withstand re-oxidation at working temperature, especially for the anode-supported cell design. The volume expansion coming along with nickel (Ni) oxidation induces stresses i ...
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
Iridium dioxide electrodes form part of the dimensionally stable anodes (DSA®) and this electrode material is widely used in many industrial processes namely water electrolysis, metal electro-winning, cathodic protection and electro-organic synthesis due t ...
The chemical and electrochemical promotion of highly dispersed nanofilm Rh catalysts (dispersion: about 10 %, film thickness: 40 nm) has been investigated for the first time. To this end Rh metal was sputter-deposited, either on a purely ionic conductor (8 ...
The chemical master equation (CME) is a system of ordinary differential equations that describes the evolution of a network of chemical reactions as a stochastic process. Its solution yields the probability density vector of the system at each point in tim ...
Org. thiolate/disulfide redox couples were synthesized and were studied systematically in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) from an org. dye (TH305). Photophys., photoelectrochem., and photovoltaic measurements were performed to get insights into the effec ...
Biased Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute redox potential and free energy curves for the redox half reaction Ag(+)-->Ag(2+)+e(-) in aqueous solution. The potential energy surfaces of reactant and product state are line ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have achieved impressive conversion efficiencies for solar energy of over 11% with an electrolyte that contains triiodide/iodide as a redox couple. Although triiodide/iodide redox couples work efficiently in DSCs, they suf ...
The transport and interfacial transfer of electrons in dye-sensitized solar cells utilizing the Co(dbbip)(2) (dbbip = 2,6-bis(l'-butylbenzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine) redox couple as an alternative to the conventional I-3(-)/l(-) couple have been investigated ...
Addn. of 4-tert-butylpyridine (4TBP) to redox electrolytes used in dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells has a large effect on their performance. In an electrolyte contg. 0.7M LiI and 0.05M I2 in 3-methoxypropionitrile, addn. of 0.5M 4TBP gave an increase of the ...
