A photoelectrochemical methanol fuel cell based on aligned TiO2 nanorods decorated graphene photoanode.
We report the photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation of methanol on a rationally designed graphene-TiO2 nanorod array (G-TNR) photoanode. A PEC methanol fuel cell was constructed by coupling the G-TNR photoanode with a cathode. This study raises a conceptual fuel cell that realizes the synergistic energy conversion of chemical energy and solar energy.
متن کاملPhotoeletrochemical generation of hydrogen over carbon-doped TiO2 photoanode
Nanostructured carbon-doped TiO2 (C-TiO2) thin film was prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on ITO substrate. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the thin film showed that the crystal structure of the C-TiO2 was a hybrid of rutile and anatase. Data of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of carbon into TiO2 molecules, which for...
متن کاملTitanium-decorated graphene oxide for carbon monoxide capture and separation.
We propose titanium-decorated graphene oxide (Ti-GO) as an ideal sorbent for carbon monoxide (CO) capture and separation from gas mixtures. Based on first-principles calculations, Ti-GO exhibits a large binding energy of ~70 kJ mol(-1) for CO molecules, while the binding energies for other gases, such as N(2), CO(2), and CH(4), are significantly smaller. The gas adsorption properties of Ti-GO a...
متن کاملEffect of Graphene Oxide Decorated With Synthesized Nano-CeO2 on Barrier Properties of Epoxy Anticorrosion Coatings
In this paper, graphene oxide decorated with cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles was prepared and used as anticorrosive pigments in epoxy nanocomposite coatings. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX analyses. Graphene oxide decorated with CeO2 nanoparticles was dispersed in epoxy resin by sonication. The optimum nanoparticle content of th...
متن کاملStimulating effect of graphene oxide on myogenesis of C2C12 myoblasts on RGD peptide-decorated PLGA nanofiber matrices
BACKGROUND In the field of biomedical engineering, many studies have focused on the possible applications of graphene and related nanomaterials due to their potential for use as scaffolds, coating materials and delivery carriers. On the other hand, electrospun nanofiber matrices composed of diverse biocompatible polymers have attracted tremendous attention for tissue engineering and regenerativ...
