“…The response of the electrode to light is related to the effect of the photons flux on the electrode that causes the activation of the surface and the generation of electron-hole pairs, in which the electrons collect on the surface and cause the production of the J ph values. 46,47 The photoelectrode responds well to the wavelengths, in which the produced J ph values (at +1 V) are changed from 0.078 to 0.053 mA.cm À2 with changing the wavelengths from 390 to 636 nm, respectively. These great changes under the different wavelengths confirm the high sensitivity of the prepared electrode to the light photons.…”

This study provides hydrogen gas fuel as a renewable energy source. The production of H 2 was carried out through the photocatalytic decomposition of sewage water using highly efficient poly(m-toluidine) (PMT)/rolled graphene oxide (roll-GO) as photoelectrode. The preparation of PMT thin film was carried out on glass using the in situ electropolymerization reaction from an acid medium. Then, the roll-GO was deposited on this thin film using the casting method from the GO solution. The full characteristic analyses Fouriertransform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, transmitted electron microscope, and UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structural, morphological, and optical properties of the prepared nanomaterials. The morphology characteristic confirmed the formation of nanopores PMT, rolled GO, and rolled porous nanocomposite. The bandgap values for PMT, roll-GO, and PMT/roll-GO nanomaterials were 2.38, 2.67, and 1.65 eV, respectively. The hydrogen generation was carried out through the photoelectrode glass/PMT/roll-GO with a current density (J ph ) value of 0.08 mA.cm À2 at +1 V, with hydrogen moles of 10 μmole/h.cm À2 . The J ph values changed from 0.078 to 0.053 mA.cm À2 with changing the monochromatic light wavelengths from 390 to 636 nm, respectively. Moreover, the J ph values increased from 0.078 to 0.295 mA.cm À2 which is followed by an increase in the temperature from 20 C to 60 C, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated, in which the Ea, ΔS*, and ΔH* values were

Summary A novel Cu/Na‐CdS optoelectronic photodetector is prepared and applied for detecting the light in the UV and Vis regions with high efficiency. First, CdS and M‐CdS nanomaterials (M = Li, Na, or Cs) are prepared using the hydrothermal method at 180°C for 24 hours. The prepared nanomaterials have crystalline structures that are confirmed through X‐ray diffraction analyses. Na‐CdS has the optimum structure with a crystalline size of 17.5 nm and porous structure looks small grass. Moreover, Na‐CdS has the optimum optical absorbance and bandgap of 1.78 eV. Na‐CdS nanomaterial is applied as optoelectronic material for light detection under different intensities and wavelengths. The device detected the light in the UV and Vis regions with high efficiency. The current density (Jph) values increased highly in light in compared with dark conditions, in which Jph changed from 20 μA cm−2 to 2.88 mA cm−2 in dark and light, respectively. The detectivity (D) and photoresponsivity (R) were 1.5 × 1010 Jones and 38 mA W−1, respectively. Also, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) was 12% at 390 nm and 100 mW cm−2. The high properties of Na‐CdS optoelectronic qualify it to be applicable in the industrial field incorporated with high technology devices such as cameras and spacecraft.

This study is very promising for providing a renewable enrgy (H2 gas fuel) under the elctrochemical splitting of the wastwater (sewage water). This study has double benefits: hydrogen generation and contaminations removel. This study is carried out on sewage water, third stage treated, from Beni-Suef city, Egypt. Antimony tin oxide (ATO)/polyaniline (PANI)/PbI2 photoelectrode is prepared through the in situ oxidative polymerization of PANI on ATO, then PANI is used as an assistant for PbI2 deposition using the ionic adsorption deposition method. The chemical structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties of the composite are confirmed using different analytical tools such as X-ray diffreaction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmision electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The prepared PbI2 inside the composite has a crystal size of 33 nm (according to the peak at 12.8°) through the XRD analyses device. SEM and TEM confirm the hexagonal PbI2 sheets embedded on the PANI nanopores surface. Moreover, the bandgap values are enhanced very much after the composite formation, in which the bandgap values for PANI and PANI/PbI2 are 3 and 2.51 eV, respectively. The application of ATO/PANI/PbI2 nanocomposite electrode for sewage splitting and H2 generation is carried out through a three-electrode cell. The measurements carreid out using the electrocehical worksattion under th Xenon lamp (100 mW.cm−2). The produced current density (Jph) is 0.095 mA.cm−2 at 100 mW.cm−2 light illumination. The photoelectrode has high reproducibility and stability, in which and the number of H2 moles is 6 µmole.h−1.cm−1. The photoelectrode response to different monochromatic light, in which the produced Jph decreases from 0.077 to 0.072 mA.cm−2 with decreasing of the wavelengths from 390 to 636 nm, respectively. These values confirms the high response of the ATO/PANI/PbI2 nanocomposite electrode for the light illuminaton and hydrogen genration under broad light region. The thermodynamic parameters: activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (ΔH*), and entropy (ΔS*) values are 7.33 kJ/mol, −4.7 kJ/mol, and 203.3 J/mol.K, respectively. The small values of ΔS* relted to the high sesnivity of the prepared elctrode for the water splitting and then the hydrogen gneration. Finally, a theoretical study was mentioned for calculation geometry, electrochemical, and thermochemistry properties of the polyaniline/PbI2 nanocomposite as compared with that for the polyaniline.
