The conversion of intermittent renewable energy resources in the form of chemical bond, such as hydrogen production from electrochemical water splitting, is a promising way to satisfy the future global energy demand and address the environmental issues. Th ...
Producing hydrogen from water using a redox mediator on solid electrocatalyst particles in a reactor offers several advantages over classical electrolysis in terms of safety, membrane degradation, purity and flexibility. Herein, vanadium-mediated hydrogen ...
Rational design of non-noble metal electrocatalysts with high intrinsic activity for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is extremely impressive for sustainable electrocatalytic water splitting systems. However, i ...
Utilizing earth-abundant metals to design economical and efficient electrocatalysts for cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for acquiring clean hydrogen energy by the electrochemical overall wat ...
Water electrolysis is an advanced and sustainable energy conversion technology used to generate H-2. However, the low efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hampers the overall water-splitting catalytic perf ...
Water splitting is a promising approach for storing intermittent renewable energies, such as sunlight in the clean chemical bonds as a hydrogen fuel. Two water-soluble octahedral cobalt (III) complexes, [Co(bpb)(OAc)(H2O)], 1, (bpb(2-) = N,N' -bis[(2-pyrid ...
Photoelectrodes enable simultaneous light absorption and catalysis of water splitting reactions. Their performance is established using electrochemical characterisation methods. Besides basic characterisation techniques such as voltammetry and chronoampero ...
Towards decarbonizing the global economy, hydrogen produced through water electrolysis is expected to be one of the key solutions for variable renewable energy storage and sector coupling, in particular, via the transport sector in the next few decades. Ev ...
H2O2 is a versatile chemical and can be generated by the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton donor solution in molecular solvents or room temperature ionic liquids (IL). We investigated this reaction at interfaces formed by eleven hydrophobic ILs and ...
Improving the throughput of electrochemical reactions such as water electrolysis is an ongoing effort. In a membrane-less electrolyzer, product separation can be achieved via controlled two-phase flows within the electrochemical flow cells. In this case, i ...
