Nanocrystalline Boron-Doped Diamond as a Corrosion-Resistant Anode for Water Oxidation via Si Photoelectrodes

Kevin Sivula, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan, Florian Le Formal, Petr Ashcheulov

Due to its high sensitivity to corrosion, the use of Si in direct photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting systems that convert solar energy into chemical fuels has been greatly limited. Therefore, the development of low-cost materials resistant to corro ...

Analysis of Optical Losses in a Photoelectrochemical Cell: A Tool for Precise Absorptance Estimation

Michael Graetzel, Ludmilla Steier

Optical losses in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell account for a substantial part of solar-to-hydrogen conversion losses, but limited attention is paid to the detailed investigation of optical losses in PEC cells. In this work, an optical model of combine ...

All Solution-Processed, Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Photocathode for Hydrogen Evolution

Matthew Thomas Mayer, Marcel Roland Schreier

Nowadays, the efficient, stable, and scalable conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels represents a great scientific, economic, and ethical challenge. Amongst the available candidate technologies, photoelectrochemical water splitting potentially has ...

Amer Chemical Soc2017

Humanity is facing the challenge of a global-scale energy transition over the next decades, where solar energy is set to play a crucial role. With the immense amount of sunlight reaching the surface or the Earth, and constantly decreasing manufacturing cos ...
