“…Copyright 2013, Nature Publishing Group types of characterization are useful to obtain analytical insights and develop strategies for how the photocatalytic efficiency can be improved further. The development of hydrogen and oxygen evolution (dark-)electrocatalysts are also important applications of the rapid screening techniques for efficient solar water splitting [173,187].…”

“…Combinatorial screening coupled with rapid synthesis have been employed as versatile tools for the discovery of many biological, organic, and inorganic materials with specific properties needed for different applications [171]. The tools have also been utilized to develop promising multi-component photocatalysts for solar energy conversion devices [143,146,157,172,173]. This chapter mainly deals with the rapid screening of photocatalysts using SECM [174,175] and also briefly describes in situ electrochemical characterization of photoelectrodes using SECM techniques.…”

In situ and operando techniques can play important roles in the development of better performing photoelectrodes, photocatalysts, and electrocatalysts by helping to elucidate crucial intermediates and mechanistic steps. The development of high throughput screening methods has also accelerated the evaluation of relevant photoelectrochemical and electrochemical properties for new solar fuel materials. In this chapter, several in situ and high throughput characterization tools are discussed in detail along with their impact on our understanding of solar fuel materials.

“…High-throughput preparation of TiO 2 -based photocatalysts [11] and of a large series of solid-state photocatalyst libraries including measurements of light absorption and hydrogen production [12] were demonstrated. Ink-jet printing of metal oxide precursors (e.g., nitrate salts) patterns on conductive glass substrates was proposed [4a, 6a] and MLs with continuous composition gradients were prepared.…”

An automated optical scanning droplet cell (OSDC) enables high-throughput quantitative characterization of thin-film semiconductor material libraries. Photoelectrochemical data on small selected measurement areas are recorded including intensity-dependent photopotentials and -currents, potentiodynamic and potentiostatic photocurrents, as well as photocurrent (action) spectra. The OSDC contains integrated counter and double-junction reference electrodes and is fixed on a precise positioning system. A Xe lamp with a monochromator is coupled to the cell through a thin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) optical fiber. A specifically designed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) capillary tip is pressed on the sample surface and defines through its diameter the homogeneously illuminated measurement area. The overall and wavelength-resolved irradiation intensities and the cell surface area are precisely determined and calibrated. System development and its performance are demonstrated by means of screening of a TiWO thin film.

“…Seyler et al have recently published an impressive series of solid-state photocatalyst libraries synthesized and screened for hydrogen production with the greatest diversity of combinations presented to date for photocatalysts [30]. Using a liquid-phase dispensing robot, mixtures of sol-gel precursors were used to create binary and ternary oxides containing an enormous variety of metals, including Li, Na, K, Ba, Bi, Co, Mg, Mn, Nd, Ni, Sb, Sr, Y, Yb, Zn, Al, Fe, La, Zr, V, Ta and Ti.…”

“…Dispensing robots such as the 215 Liquid Handler/Injector from Gilson Ò may be used to dispense liquid precursors to a library substrate followed by drying and thermal reaction of the solution (sol-gel or hightemperature calcination). Maier et al [30] have shown a combinatorial-chemistry methodology, using a liquid-dispensing robot to create metal-oxide libraries from sol-gel precursors. The precursors are dispensed into the vials where they react, gel and, after evaporation of the solvents, the gel is calcined to give metal oxides with diverse composition ranges.…”
