• openAccess   A metal-organic framework converted catalyst that boosts photo-electrochemical water splitting 

      Cardenas-Morcoso, Drialys; Ifraemov, Raya; García-Tecedor, Miguel; Liberman, Itamar; Gimenez, Sixto; Hod, Idan Royal Society of Chemistry (2019-04-08)
      Realization of photo-electrochemical water splitting to generate H2 alternative fuel requires the facilitation of the kinetically-sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring at the photoanode. To do so, there is a ...
    • openAccess   Calculation of the Energy Band Diagram of a Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Cell 

      Cendula, Peter; Tilley, S. David; Gimenez, Sixto; Bisquert, Juan; Schmid, Matthias; Grätzel, Michael; Schumacher, Jürgen O. American Chemical Society (2014-11)
      A physical model is presented for the semiconductor electrode of a photoelectrochemical cell. The model accounts for the potential drop in the Helmholtz layer and thus enables description of both band edge pinning and ...
    • openAccess   Electrophoretic deposition of antimonene for photoelectrochemical applications 

      Barrio, Jesús; Gibaja, Carlos; García-Tecedor, Miguel; Abisdris, Liel; Torres, Iñigo; Karjule, Neeta; Gimenez, Sixto; Shalom, Menny; Zamora, Félix Elsevier (2020-06-10)
      Antimonene is a recently developed two-dimensional material with outstanding expected physical properties based on theoretical calculations. Liquid phase-exfoliation has become the most straight forward preparation method ...
    • openAccess   Interfacial Engineering at Quantum Dot-Sensitized TiO2 Photoelectrodes for Ultrahigh Photocurrent Generation 

      Kim, Tea-Yon; Kim, Byung Su; Oh, Jong Gyu; Park, Seul Chan; Jang, Jaeyoung; Hamann, Thomas; Kang, Young Soo; Bang, Jin Ho; Gimenez, Sixto; Kang, Yong Soo American Chemical Society (2021-02-01)
      Metal oxide semiconductor/chalcogenide quantum dot (QD) heterostructured photoanodes show photocurrent densities >30 mA/cm2 with ZnO, approaching the theoretical limits in photovoltaic (PV) cells. However, comparative ...
    • closedAccess   Toward Efficient Carbon Nitride Photoelectrochemical Cells: Understanding Charge Transfer Processes 

      Albero, Josep; Barea, Eva M; Xu, Jingsan; Mora-Sero, Ivan; García, Hermenegildo; Shalom, Menny Wiley (2016-06)
      Hole extraction is the key! Charge recombination, electron injection and hole extraction rates between C3N4, TiO2, and several electrolytes in a photoelectrode configuration are studied. It is found that the TiO2/C3N4 ...
