Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
A phenomenological model is proposed for a better understanding of the basic mechanisms of photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. The main assumptions of the one-dimensional transient phenomenological model are: i) bulk recombination of the conduction band elec ...
This paper addresses the origin of the decrease in the external electrical bias required for water photoelectrolysis with hematite photoanodes, observed following surface treatments of such electrodes. We consider two alternative surface modifications: a c ...
A validated multi-physics numerical model that accounts for charge and species conservation, fluid flow, and electrochemical processes has been used to analyze the performance of solar-driven photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems. The modeling has p ...
The electronic structure of hydrated SrTiO3 (001) surfaces is investigated using density-functional models. It is shown that adsorbed water molecules give rise to unoccupied electron states similar in localization and shape to wet-electron states recently ...
A sustainable route to store the energy provided by the Sun, is to directly convert sunlight into molecular hydrogen using a semiconductor performing water photolysis. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is promising for this application due to its ample abundance, chemica ...
Semiconductor photocatalysis is an Advanced Oxidation Technology that uses light as a source of energy to accelerate the degradation of harmful organic pollutants. Current research addresses the development of photocatalysts capable of harvesting visible l ...
We consider the doped Rokhsar-Kivelson quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice with one mobile hole (monomer) at the Rokhsar-Kivelson point. The motion of the hole is described by two branches of excitations: the hole may either move with or without ...
Due to the limiting amount of fossil fuel available and to the continuous growth of the world energy consumption, it becomes important to find alternative energy sources. Hydrogen produced by the photoelectrolysis of water is a perfect candidate as a clean ...
The effect of oxygen in nanocryst. colloidal TiO2 film photoelectrodes were studied by optically induced photocurrent transient measurements. O2 played an important role in the recombination of electrons and holes. Some effects esp. assocd. with the nanopo ...
