Sustainability Consolidated Ln3+(Ce3+‐Pr3+‐Nd3+):SnO2 System for Variegated Electrochemical and Photovoltaic Applications

“…The suitable composition of the lanthanide doped SnO 2 has gone on successful activation of the favorable sites leading to better performance. [ 26 ]…”

“…The results are comparable with the other relevant studies. [ 26,29 ] Especially, the lower value of the lanthanide doped SnO 2 electrode shows the profound role of rare earth metals in altering the properties of the pristine SnO 2 . There are three major mechanistic steps involved in this process for appreciable H 2 production reflected in form of lower Tafel slopes.…”

“…The production of H 2 either done in the alkaline or acidic media, proceeds with the Volmer step as the initial one. Though there are not many reports available explaining the mechanism of H 2 production in alkaline media but other studies support the role of Volmer‐Heyrovsky mixed mechanism for HER [ 26 ] as exhibited in case of pristine and lanthanide doped SnO 2 electrodes. The excellent OER/HER activities shown in the form of lower overpotential ( η OER/HER ) and Tafel slope values expresses the outstanding and high performance of the electrodes for facile generation of energy without needing any complex set up.…”
