“…The photocatalytic reaction is an advanced oxidation process that has been widely examined in several elds. The evolution of H 2 through water splitting and degradation of organic pollutants 18,19 are the main, signicant applications. Photocatalysis is also an effective alternative to remove dyes and organic pollutants from water and industrial waste.…”

“…The ever-growing energy demand, in combination with the use of fossil resources, is one of the major driving forces for climate change [1][2][3]. Solar energy is an ideal replacement for fossil fuels [4][5][6], and several technologies have been developed so far [7][8][9]. Among these, photocatalysis is one of the simplest and most straightforward approaches.…”

Figures of Merit for Photocatalysis: Comparison of NiO/La-NaTaO3 and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 as a Semiconductor and a Bio-Photocatalyst for Water Splitting

While photocatalysis is considered a promising sustainable technology in the field of heterogeneous catalysis as well as biocatalysis, figures of merit (FOM) for comparing catalytic performance, especially between disciplines, are not well established. Here, photocatalytic water splitting was conducted using a semiconductor (NiO/La-NaTaO3) and a bio-photocatalyst (Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803) in the same setup under similar reaction conditions, eliminating the often ill-defined influence of the setup on the FOMs obtained. Comparing the results enables the critical evaluation of existing FOMs and a quantitative comparison of both photocatalytic systems. A single FOM is insufficient to compare the photocatalysts, instead a combination of multiple FOMs (reaction rate, photocatalytic space time yield and a redefined apparent quantum yield) is superior for assessing a variety of photocatalytic systems.

This study investigated the structural, morphological, and optical absorption of three separate perovskites (NaPbI 3 , CsPbI 3 , and LiPbI 3) developed by a lowcost and massive hydrothermal production technique. For all samples, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement demonstrated the growth of perovskites in the hexagonal phase along (002) orientation. From the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses, the perovskites have mixed morphologies between nano/micro rods and nano/microdiscs. In the visible field, NaPbI 3 demonstrated stronger light absorption than CsPbI 3 and LiPbI 3. The prepared perovskites were tested under visible light as working electrodes for water splitting reactions using Na 2 S 2 O 3 electrolyte. With 2.76% at 405 nm, the NaPbI 3 perovskite photoelectrode in accordance with its optical properties showed the highest incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) among the studied perovskites. Also, the NaPbI 3 perovskite demonstrated higher PEC performance with an H 2 production rate of 38 μmolh −1 cm −2 than many other reported perovskites. The studied perovskites have high stability and reproductivity for the photoelectrochemical H 2 production.
