“…The composite solid electrolytes CsH 2 PO 4 -ZnSnO 3 may be used as solid electrolyte membrane materials in intermediate temperature electrochemical resistors for hydrogen production. Such an approach might be competitive compared with alternative hydrogen production techniques [66][67][68][69][70].…”

The proton conductivity and structural properties of (1–x)CsH2PO4–xZnSnO3 composites with compositions of x = 0.2–0.8 were studied. Zinc stannate ZnSnO3 was prepared by the thermal decomposition of zinc hydroxostannate ZnSn(OH)6, which was synthesized by hydrolytic codeposition. To optimize the microstructure of ZnSnO3, thermal decomposition products of ZnSn(OH)6 were characterized by thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, and electron microscopy. The study reveals that the thermolysis of ZnSn(OH)6 at temperatures of 300–520 °C formed an X-ray amorphous zinc stannate with a high surface area of 85 m2/g possessing increased water retention, which was used as a matrix for the formation of the composite electrolytes CsH2PO4–ZnSnO3. The CsH2PO4 crystal structure remained in the composite systems, but dispersion and partial salt amorphization were observed due to the interface interaction with the ZnSnO3 matrix. It was shown that the proton conductivity of composites in the low-temperature region increased up to 2.5 orders of magnitude, went through a smooth maximum at x = 0.2, and then decreased due to the percolation effect. The measurement of the proton conductivity of the ZnSnO3–CsH2PO4 composites revealed that zinc stannate can be used as a heterogeneous additive in other composite solid electrolytes. Therefore, such materials can be applied in hydrogen production membrane reactors.

“…18,19 Photocatalytic water decomposition provides a promising approach to harvest solar energy for generating environment-friendly hydrogen energy for our long-term needs. 20–22 The hydrogen production cost from solar-driven water splitting should be limited below $2.0 kg −1 on the terawatt scale to compete with the traditional hydrogen production methods, such as coal gasification, in the global market. To achieve this goal, analysis suggests a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency (STH) of 10% as a threshold for energy return on investment.…”

“…The photocatalysis technology has been quickly developed in treating wastewater in recent years because of its outstanding performance characteristics such as environmental friendliness (Yu et al 2022), high energy efficiency (Liu et al 2021b), and lack of secondary pollution (Chong et al 2010). It has emerged as an important method, because of its fast and complete mineralization of contaminants without leaving residues (Tayyab et al 2022b).…”

Herein, a Bi 2 S 3 /Cu 2 S was successfully synthesized via a simple one-step wet impregnation process. The compositional behavior and electrical and optical properties of photocatalysts were investigated in detail. Photocatalytic technology has shown great promise in wastewater treatment, splitting water to hydrogen, and converting CO 2 to fuel. Researchers or scientist are attempting to design sulfate-based heterojunction photocatalytic systems in order to develop novel photocatalysts with excellent performance. Photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye and tetracycline (TC) drug under visible light irradiation was used to assess the photocatalytic activity of as-prepared samples. As a result, 2:1% wt of Bi 2 S 3 /Cu 2 S heterostructure composite revealed superior visible light degradation performing of MB dye, and TC drug efficiency as 90.2% and 87.5%, respectively. The prepared hybrid photocatalyst has demonstated a potential for use in the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic durgs and dyes, indicating a promissing future for its application.
