Mechanism for spontaneous oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions on CoO nanoparticles

Journal Article Park, Kyoung-Won ; Kolpak, Alexie M. - Journal of Materials Chemistry A

Overall photocatalytic water splitting with a high efficiency of ∼5% has recently been observed for CoO nanoparticle suspensions in the absence of an applied bias or co-catalyst. Although experimental measurements indicate that the overall photocatalytic water splitting is caused by optimal band edge alignments with respect to the redox potentials of water, the mechanism by which H2 and O2 simultaneously evolve on these nanoparticles is unknown. In this study, we used first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the mechanisms for the charge separation and H2 and O2 evolution on CoO nanoparticles under illumination in aqueous solution. We demonstratedmore »« less

Structural evolution of titanium dioxide during reduction in high-pressure hydrogen

Journal Article Selcuk, Sencer ; Zhao, Xunhua ; Selloni, Annabella - Nature Materials

The excellent photocatalytic properties of titanium oxide (TiO ₂) under ultraviolet light have long motivated the search for doping strategies capable of extending its photoactivity to the visible part of the spectrum. One approach is high-pressure and high-temperature hydrogenation, which results in reduced ‘black TiO ₂’ nanoparticles with a crystalline core and a disordered shell that absorbs visible light. Here we elucidate the formation mechanism and structural features of black TiO ₂ using first-principles-validated reactive force field molecular dynamics simulations of anatase TiO ₂ surfaces and nanoparticles at high temperature and under high hydrogen pressures. Simulations reveal that surface oxygenmore »« less

Enhancing the photoresponse and photocatalytic properties of TiO ₂ by controllably tuning defects across {101} facets

Journal Article Wan, Piaopiao ; Hood, Zachary D. ; Oak Ridge National Lab. ; ... - Applied Surface Science

Introducing defects into semiconductors with well-controlled exposed facets offers an effective route for the development of photocatalytic materials with greatly improved properties. Here, we report a facile ethylene glycol reduction procedure to make anatase titanium dioxide (TiO ₂) with different concentrations of exposed {001} and {101} facets, leading to different surficial defects. TiO ₂ with increased concentrations of {101} facets shows a 5-fold improvement in photocurrent generation as well as improved photocatalytic activity towards water splitting under visible light irradiation. Thus, the improved activity is ascribed to the oxygen vacancies as well as the variable surface chemical states, which collectivelymore »« less

Understanding the Oxygen Evolution Reaction Mechanism on CoO _x using Operando Ambient-Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Journal Article Favaro, Marco ; Yang, Jinhui ; Nappini, Silvia ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Photoelectrochemical water splitting is a promising approach for renewable production of hydrogen from solar energy and requires interfacing advanced water-splitting catalysts with semiconductors. Understanding the mechanism of function of such electrocatalysts at the atomic scale and under realistic working conditions is a challenging, yet important, task for advancing efficient and stable function. This is particularly true for the case of oxygen evolution catalysts and, here, we study a highly active Co ₃O ₄/Co(OH) ₂ biphasic electrocatalyst on Si by means of operando ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed at the solid/liquid electrified interface. Spectral simulation and multiplet fitting reveal that themore »« less
