Synthesis and Activities of Rutile IrO<sub>2</sub> and RuO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles for Oxygen Evolution in Acid and Alkaline Solutions

Youngmin Lee, Jin Suntivich, Kevin J. May et al. · 19 Jan 2012

The activities of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on iridium-oxide- and ruthenium-oxide-based catalysts are among the highest known to date. However, the OER activities of thermodynamically stable rutile iridium oxide (r-IrO2) and rutile iridium oxide (r-RuO2), normalized to catalyst mass or true surface area are not well-defined. Here we report a synthesis of r-IrO2 and…

Perovskites: The Emergence of a New Era for Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Solar Cells

Henry J. Snaith · 10 Oct 2013

Over the last 12 months, we have witnessed an unexpected breakthrough and rapid evolution in the field of emerging photovoltaics, with the realization of highly efficient solid-state hybrid solar cells based on organometal trihalide perovskite absorbers. In this Perspective, the steps that have led to this discovery are discussed, and the future of this rapidly…

Organometallic Halide Perovskites: Sharp Optical Absorption Edge and Its Relation to Photovoltaic Performance

Stefaan De Wolf, Jakub Holovský, Soo‐Jin Moon et al. · 5 Mar 2014

Solar cells based on organometallic halide perovskite absorber layers are emerging as a high-performance photovoltaic technology. Using highly sensitive photothermal deflection and photocurrent spectroscopy, we measure the absorption spectrum of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin films at room temperature. We find a high absorption coefficient with particularly sharp onset. Below the bandgap, the absorption is exponential over…

Photocatalytic Water Splitting: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

Kazuhiko Maeda, Kazunari Domen · 26 Aug 2010

Water splitting to form hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy in the presence of semiconductor photocatalysts has long been studied as a potential means of clean, large-scale fuel production. In general, overall water splitting can be achieved when a photocatalyst is modified with a suitable cocatalyst. It is therefore important to develop both photocatalysts and…

Lithium−Air Battery: Promise and Challenges

G. Girishkumar, Bryan D. McCloskey, A. C. Luntz et al. · 2 Jul 2010

The lithium−air system captured worldwide attention in 2009 as a possible battery for electric vehicle propulsion applications. If successfully developed, this battery could provide an energy source for electric vehicles rivaling that of gasoline in terms of usable energy density. However, there are numerous scientific and technical challenges that must be overcome if this alluring…
