Electrochemical measurement was carried out in a traditional three-electrode cell in PARSTAT 2273 electrochemical workstation. The working electrode, assistant electrode and reference electrode were the alloy, Pt electrode and saturated KCl calomel electrode, respectively. The applied potential is relative to the saturated KCl calomel electrode potential (SCE). 0.9 M KOH aqueous solution was utilized to estimate the active surface area of electrochemical catalysts. Electrochemical oxidation of formaldehyde was carried out by cyclic voltammetry in the electrolyte containing 0.9 M KOH and 0.3 M HCHO with scanning rate of 20 mV/s. The surface morphology of nanoporous silver was characterized by Zeiss Supra 55 fieldemission gun scanning electron microscope (FESEM).","PeriodicalId":11470,"journal":{"name":"ECS Electrochemistry Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1149/2.0091506EEL","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64336592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burning of fossil fuels produces green house gases such as CO2 which may be directly linked to global warming and severe weather conditions. Furthermore, fossil fuels are costly. 1 Alternative energy, such as solar and wind, can be unstable for everyday use. Advanced storage technologies such as redox flow batteries (RFB) are being investigated as solutions because the electrolyte can be charged and stored for later usage during which the battery is discharged. This allows the battery to be very versatile in small-scale and large-scale operations because it allows for consistent energy distribution and management across the entire day. RFB presents a potentially cheap and nontoxic option of using more renewable energy resources. In addition, it offers megawatt storage capacity depending on the electrolyte used. 1","PeriodicalId":11470,"journal":{"name":"ECS Electrochemistry Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1149/2.0091507EEL","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64336699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pore diameter and depth were strongly affected by the direction of illumination, where higher controllability was achieved compared with front-side illumination. The spectroscopic measurements revealed that illumination with photon energy below the bulk bandgap plays an important role in pore formation. We propose a formation model by considering the Franz-Keldysh effect that can consistently explain the obtained experimental data in which anodic etching occurs only at the pore tips under the high electric field induced in the depletion region.","PeriodicalId":11470,"journal":{"name":"ECS Electrochemistry Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1149/2.0031505EEL","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64312506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
