Enhanced Solar-to-Fuel Efficiency of Ceria-Based Thermochemical Cycles via Integrated Electrochemical Oxygen Pumping

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Meng Lin

The solar thermochemical cycle based on ceria is a promising route for renewable fuel production. The solar-to-fuel efficiency of a thermochemical reactor is highly dependent on the oxygen removal during the reduction step. Conventional nitrogen sweeping ( ...

High-valence metals improve oxygen evolution reaction performance by modulating 3dmetal oxidation cycle energetics

Jun Li, Likai Zheng, Yang Li, Yelin Hu, Ye Zhang, Ziyun Wang, Bo Zhang, Zhen Cao

Multimetal oxyhydroxides have recently been reported that outperform noble metal catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In such 3d-metal-based catalysts, the oxidation cycle of 3dmetals has been posited to act as the OER thermodynamic-limiting proc ...

Understanding Digestive Ripening of Ligand-Stabilized, Charged Metal Nanoparticles

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo

Most syntheses of thiolate-protected metal nanoparticles (NPs) include a thermochemical step in which the as-prepared, polydisperse NPs are transformed to a narrower size distribution in a poorly understood process known as digestive ripening (DR). Previou ...

A facile nonpolar organic solution process of a nanostructured hematite photoanode with high efficiency and stability for water splitting

Yelin Hu, Artur Braun

We present a facile nonpolar organic solution synthesis and processing method for water splitting photoanodes based on iron oxide with a relatively low sintering temperature (550 degrees C). The photocurrent of these photoanodes can reach 3.3 mA cm(-2) at ...

The electronic, chemical and electrocatalytic processes and intermediates on iron oxide surfaces during photoelectrochemical water splitting

Michael Graetzel, Yelin Hu, Artur Braun, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

We re-assess experimental soft X-ray absorption spectra of the oxygen K-shell which we recorded operando from iron oxide during photoelectrochemical water splitting in KOH electrolyte. In particular, we refer to recently reported transitional electron hole ...

Characterization of Cracks and their Effects on the Effective Transport Pathways in Ni-YSZ Anodes after Reoxidation Using X-Ray Nanotomography

Jan Van Herle, Jian Wang, Siyuan Wang, Arata Nakajo, Fabio Greco

Reduction-oxidation cycling of Ni-based electrodes for solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells irreversibly alters their microstructure and can cause the fracture of the electrolyte. Non-destructive 3-D imaging enables tracking of microstructural changes that ...
