چکیده

Thin films of polyoxometalates that are sensitized with a Ru(II) metallopolymer generate significant photocurrents in the presence of benzyl alcohol and visible light. Significantly, the photocurrent generated by the tungstate based adduct, α-[P(2)W(18)O(62)](6-), is approximately seven fold larger than that found for the Dawson polyoxomolybdate α-[S(2)Mo(18)O(62)](4-).

     Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures thin films were prepared onto glass substrates by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO was structured as nanorods (NRs) while TiO2 was formed as nanoflowers plate as confirmed by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images. The ZnO/Fe3O4 and TiO2/Fe3O4 nanostructures thin films were prepared v...

Photo-Oxidation of Water Using Nanocrystalline Tungsten Oxide under Visible Light

The photoelectrolysis of water to yield hydrogen and oxygen using visible light has enormous potential for solar energy harvesting if suitable photoelectrode materials can be developed. Few of the materials with a band gap suitable for visible light activation have the necessary band-edge potentials or photochemical stability to be suitable candidates. Tungsten oxide (Ebg 2.8 eV) is a good cand...

EDTA-Reduction of Water to Molecular Hydrogen Catalyzed by Visible-Light-Response TiO2-Based Materials Sensitized by Dawson- and Keggin-Type Rhenium(V)-Containing Polyoxotungstates

The synthesis and characterization of a Keggin-type mono-rhenium(V)substituted polyoxotungstate are described. The dimethylammonium salt [Me2NH2]4[PW11ReO40] was obtained as analytically pure homogeneous black-purple crystals by reacting mono-lacunary Keggin polyoxotungstate with [ReCl6] in water, followed by crystallization from acetone at ca. 5 °C. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of ...

Visible light photocatalytic activity of MWCNT/TiO2 using the degradation of methylene blue

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-doped TiO2 thin films were synthesized by the dip-coating method. The obtained products were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The XRD patterns showed the presence of anatase phase. Absorption spectrum of MWCNT-doped TiO2 revealed a red shift in the optical absorption edge due to carbon doping. The photocatalytic properties...

Development of a Ru complex-incorporated MOF photocatalyst for hydrogen production under visible-light irradiation.

A Ru complex-incorporated Ti-based MOF (Ti-MOF-Ru(tpy)2) has been synthesised by using a bis(4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-terpyridine)Ru(ii) complex (Ru(tpy)2) as an organic linker. Ti-MOF-Ru(tpy)2 promotes photocatalytic hydrogen production from water containing a sacrificial electron donor under visible-light irradiation up to 620 nm.
