It has been more than 40 years since Fujishima and Honda demonstrated water splitting using TiO2, yet there is still no clear mechanism by which surface holes on TiO2 oxidize water. In this paper, we use a range of complementary techniques to study this re ...
The concept of efficient electrolysis by linking photoelectrochemical biphasic H2 evolution and water oxidation processes in the cathodic and anodic compartments of an H-cell, respectively, is introduced. Overpotentials at the cathode and anode are minimis ...

In this thesis, quantum chemical methods have been applied to elucidate the thermodynamics and the kinetics of reactions involving reactive species in water. Due to their high reactivity in water, many transient species are difficult to study by experiment ...
A rapidly growing population and industrialization have caused the exploitation of natural resources in keeping with fossil fuels shortage. Due to the combustion of fossil fuels, the concentration of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere, which is a potent greenho ...
The development of new routes towards the generation of environmentally friendly solar fuels, such as molecular hydrogen (H2) for use in fuel cells, is a grand challenge facing the scientific community. In this regard, water splitting represents one of the ...
Spectroelectrochemical studies employing pulsed LED irradiation are used to investigate the kinetics of water oxidation on undoped dense bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) photoanodes under conditions of photoelectrochemical water oxidation and compare to those obta ...

Photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was driven by a TiO2-protected Cu2O photocathode paired with a rhenium bipyridyl catalyst. Efficient and selective CO evolution was shown to be stable over several hours. The use of protic solution additives to o ...
