Development of solar fuels photoanodes through combinatorial integration of Ni–La–Co–Ce oxide catalysts on BiVO_4 [PDF]
The development of an efficient photoanode remains the primary materials challenge in the establishment of a scalable technology for solar water splitting. The typical photoanode architecture consists of a semiconductor light absorber coated with a metal

The purpose of this work was to assess the potential of the Ru(II)(bipy)3 complexes as photogalvanic systems, using the criteria obtained from the theory for an ideal photogalvanic solar cell developed by Albery and Archer. To this end two techniques were developed to measure the rate of the thermal back reaction between the high energy photoproducts ...

Hydrogen Production via Electrolysis of Wastewater
The high energy consumption of traditional water splitting to produce hydrogen is mainly due to complex oxygen evolution reaction (OER), where low-economic-value O2 gas is generated.

Solar photochemical process engineering for production of fuels and chemicals [PDF]
The engineering costs and performance of a nominal 25,000 scmd (883,000 scfd) photochemical plant to produce dihydrogen from water were studied. Two systems were considered, one based on flat-plate collector/reactors and the other on linear parabolic ...
