Photo-rechargeable zinc ion capacitors using MoS/NaTaO/CF dual-acting electrodes prepared by photodeposition method.

This study presents an innovative approach to integrated energy systems by combining solar energy harvesting and electrochemical charge storage in a single modular platform. By strategically incorporating a MoS/NaTaO heterostructure material, we have developed a photo-rechargeable zinc-ion capacitor (PR-ZIC) that utilises the synergistic benefits of this unique configuration. The photoactive MoS/NaTaO cathode effectively absorbs light and charges the capacitor, enabling continuous light-driven operation.

Substrate-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry of Some Small Biomolecules Using TiO-Nanotubes: The Effect of Nanotube Diameter and Salt Addition.

Substrate-assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI) is a kind of soft ionization method that is most suitable for the analysis of low molecular weight analytes when it is coupled with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Unlike the conventional matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, there is no interference in the SALDI with matrices for the low mass analyte peaks (/ < 700). The focus of this work is to develop substrates based on nanomaterials to obtain higher sensitivity, better reproducibility, and easier preparation.

Enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting of CrTiO nanotube photoanodes by the decoration of their surface via the photodeposition of Ag and Au.

It is of great significance to develop green fuels in order to prevent the accumulation of carbon dioxide generated by the combustion of conventional fossil fuels. A potential, clean, renewable alternative fuel, which may be produced from solar energy, stored and safely transported, is hydrogen. In this work, bare CrTiO2 NTs were fabricated using an in situ anodizing process.

Preparation of Ni-Pt/Fe-TiO nanotube films for photoelectrochemical cathodic protection of 403 stainless steel.

Iron-doped TiO nanotubes (Fe-TNTs) were prepared by a one step anodization method. Nickel-platinum was then deposited on the surface of these Fe-TNTs samples by an electroless process during different time periods. SEM, XRD and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy was used to study the surface morphologies, composition and optical properties of the synthetic samples.

Ultrasonic irradiation preparation of graphitic-CN/polyaniline nanocomposites as counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells.

In this research, polyaniline/graphitic carbon nitride (PANI/g-CN) nanocomposites were synthesized via in-situ electrochemical polymerization of aniline monomer whit different number of cyclic voltammetry scans (10, 20 and 30 cycles) after electrode surface pre-preparation using a potential shock under ultrasonic irradiation. PANI/g-CN nanocomposites with two values of g-CN (0.010 wt% and 0.

Fabrication, characterization and photoelectrochemical activity of tungsten-copper co-sensitized TiO nanotube composite photoanodes.

Tungsten-copper co-sensitized TiO nanotube films on titanium substrate, used as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen, have been synthesized via anodization and chemical bath deposition (CBD) methods. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the morphology and elemental composition of the synthetic samples. UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) was sued to investigate the optical features of the samples.

Preparation and characterization of CrFeWTiO photoanodes and their photoelectrochemical activities for water splitting.

The chemical bath deposition (CBD) method was successfully applied to prepare WTiO nanotube arrays co-deposited with chromium, iron and chromium-iron nanoparticles. Various methods have been used in the characterization of synthetic co-deposited nanostructures. WTiO nanotubes can keep the nanotubular structures at low iron concentration in the CBD solution, as indicated by our FESEM results.
