Advanced Catalysts for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Abstract

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting offers a sparkling and sustainable strategy for hydrogen generation, and significant research for enhancing the conversion efficiency of electrocatalysts is underway, since a huge number of publications have been reported in this field. Hence, it is urgent to write a comprehensive and updated review in order to highlight the latest progress in the design, fabrication, and modification of electrocatalysts for high-efficiency PEC water splitting. In this review, we describe the basic mechanism of PEC water splitting utilizing electrocatalysts in detail. Further, we highlighted the recent advancements in the design, fabrication, and modification of high-efficiency electrocatalysts for energy conversion. In addition, the catalysts' surface passivation, heterojunction constructions, defect engineering, and photovoltage and photocurrent enhancements are also highlighted.

Recent Progress of SAPO-34 Zeolite Membranes for CO2 Separation: A Review

“…Since the first report of MMMs in 1970 [ 59 ], extensive research has been conducted to improve the separation performance and industrial implementation for a range of applications such as hydrogen recovery, treatment of natural gas, and air separation [ 60 , 61 , 62 ]. Different types of polymer matrices have been reported with various fillers, such as MOFs [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ], COFs [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ], carbon materials [ 73 ], zeolites [ 59 ], and other materials [ 74 , 75 ].…”

MXenes as Emerging Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

“…Electric vehicles and stationary batteries both require high-capacity energy conversion/storage systems, while the present energy conversion and storage techniques such as batteries, water splitting, and supercapacitors are being advanced. Thus, further research is required because simultaneous high energy conversion and power density is difficult to attain, and rechargeable technologies are expensive and limited in application [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Because of their unique physicochemical features, two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes have received a lot of interest.…”

A Review on SAPO‐34 Zeolite Materials for CO2 Capture and Conversion

“…For reuse, recycling, and removal purposes, several advanced materials have been developed. The topology, acidity, and stability of the catalytic materials are crucial parameters [24–39] . Zeolites posses good stability, acidity, and topological characteristics as well as CO 2 capture, separation, and conversion capabilities [13,40,41] …”

“…The topology, acidity, and stability of the catalytic materials are crucial parameters. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Zeolites posses good stability, acidity, and topological characteristics as well as CO 2 capture, separation, and conversion capabilities. [13,40,41] Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt first coined the word zeolite in 1756.…”
