Abstract

Hydrogen is a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source that can replace fossil fuels by utilizing solar energy through water splitting. The hydrogen production was conducted in this research by using a tandem system of dye-sensitized solar cell–photoelectrochemical cell (DSSC–PEC) and a TiO2 nanotube coated with BiFeO3 (BiFeO3/TNT) as a photoanode in the PEC. The deposition of BiFeO3 on TNT was prepared using the following three methods: successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), ultrasonication-assisted SILAR, and ultrasonic– immersion method by varying the number of deposition cycles in each method. In this study, the optimum cycles for SILAR, ultrasonication-assisted SILAR, and ultrasonic–immersion methods were 15, 5, and 3, respectively. Results show that the BiFeO3 deposited on TNT using the ultrasonic–immersion method with three cycles (BiFeO3/TNT_UI3) demonstrates the best photoelectrochemical activity. The tandem system comprises BiFeO3/TNT_UI3 photoanode and Pt-coated TNT dark cathode PEC cell connected to TNT/N719-based DSSC with an efficiency of 1.27%. The constructed DSSC–PEC system could produce 3.11 × 10−6 mol hydrogen in 6 h with a solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 0.0033% in an H-type reactor filled with 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte.

Abstract

We developed a low-cost dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using TiO2 fabricated via rapid breakdown anodization (RBA) and ultrafast room-temperature crystallization (URTC). The prepared TiO2 was deposited on a self-made fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conductive glass, and the FTO/TiO2 system was sensitized using curcumin dye. The DSSC was constructed by sandwiching the FTO/TiO2/curcumin electrode with an I−/I2 electrolyte and a transparent carbon counter electrode prepared using a liquid–liquid interface system. The characterization results showed that the TiO2 freshly prepared via URTC was transformed into an anatase crystalline phase, which exhibited a 3.10 eV band gap and a 10.08 nm average crystallite size, comparable to those of the TiO2 prepared via the conventional 450 °C annealing treatment (3.13 eV, 11.60 nm). The photocurrent activity of the URTC-prepared TiO2 under ultraviolet light (0.10 mA/cm2) was also comparable to that of the annealed TiO2 (0.12 mA/cm2). In addition, a transparent carbon electrode (FTO/Ct) was prepared successfully; it exhibited a ±58.26% transparency under visible light and comparable electrocatalytic activity to Pt-coated FTO. The DSSC based on FTO/TiO2-URTC/curcumin and FTO/Ct showed front and back illumination efficiencies of 0.47% and 0.26%, respectively. These results are only slightly lower than those of the conventional DSSC with FTO/annealed TiO2/curcumin//FTO/Pt, which exhibited front and back illumination efficiencies of 0.52% and 0.36%, respectively.

Abstract

In this study, modification of the copper foam (Cuf) electrode with tin (Sn) was carried out with the electrodeposition method for application in CO2 electroreduction.  Characterization using SEM EDX, FTIR, and XRD confirmed the presence of Cu2O, CuO, and SnO2 thin layer mixture on the Cuf/Sn electrode. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were examined by using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique. Under optimized conditions, electrochemical reduction of CO2 in a flow cell system. At the optimum condition of CO2 reduction in a flow cell system (flow rate of 75 mL/min and –0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl applied potential), the Cuf/Sn electrode exhibited a remarkable 75.79% with an 8.84 µmol/h formic acid production rate. In a comparable experiment, the Cuf/Sn flow system revealed a twofold improvement in the faradaic efficiency compared to the batch system and a threefold increase compared to the unmodified Cuf electrode in the flow system. Stability tests demonstrated consistent performance up to the 4th cycle, followed by a decline in the 5th cycle, potentially indicative of surface deterioration. The elevated performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of the Cu-Sn oxide layer, reinforcing the catalyst’s potential for efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction to formic acid.

Abstract

The increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can lead to climate change and adversely affect human health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to capture CO2 and convert it into a more valuable substance, such as methanol. In this study, we established a tandem system involving dye-sensitized solar cells and photoelectrochemical (DSSC-PEC), which included the PEC zone using CuO/dark TiO2 nanotube array (CuO/dTNA) as the dark cathode where CO2 reduction takes place, and Co-Pi/blue TiO2 nanotube array (Co-Pi/bTNA) as the counter photoanode. For the DSSC zone, N719/TNA was used as the photoanode, I-/I3- electrolyte, and Pt/FTO as the cathode. The tandem system was constructed by connecting the PEC cathode to the DSSC photoanode and the PEC photoanode to the DSSC cathode using silver wire. Under solely visible light induction and water containing sodium bicarbonate electrolyte saturated with CO2, the proposed devise produced methanol at 1.292 μmol/hour.

Abstract

Population growth, industrialization, and the need to ensure water quality have fostered the demand for analytical methods and tools to determine one of the important values of water quality standards. The oxygen demand of a given water matrix provides valuable information about the presence of organic compounds in a sample. The TiO2-based photoelectrocatalytic COD (PECOD) method offers a faster, more efficient, and more accurate alternative than conventional methods. Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (HOTNAs) were synthesized by anodizing titanium metal at 45V for 2 hours. HOTNAs/FTO photoanodes are used to oxidize organic compounds in water. HOTNAs/FTO photoanode has a bandgap of 3.4eV and a current density of 0.29 mA/cm2. Environmental samples were tested with the PeCOD sensor using glucose and mixed compound addition standards method. Water samples taken from local small ponds, namely Danau Kenanga, Danau Agathis, and typical wastewater of Laundry activity reveal COD values of 15,4659 to 15,9571 mg/L O2; 19,0500 to 19,6179 mg/LO2; 445,2336 to 449,7830 mg/L O2; respectively. The developed PECOD sensor performed well and provided analytical results that were not much different from conventional methods, with an error percentage below 10%.
