Here, we provide an immense magnetic field-based electron spin polarization approach for an efficient charge carrier separation. We have fabricated NiO and CoO thin film and nanorod arrays by electron beam evaporation glancing angle method followed by annealing in a two-zone furnace. The photoelectrochemical performance was investigated for NiO and CoO samples in the presence and absence of a magnetic field. The NiO and CoO nanorods array samples exhibit better absorption compared with the thin film samples. The CoO and NiO nanorod arrays showed the highest photocurrent density of 0.12 and 0.55 mA/cm in a magnetic field. The superior photoelectrochemical response of NiO and CoO nanorods in a magnetic field could be ascribed to the limitation of non-radiative recombination of carriers manipulated by Lorentz force and spin polarization. Furthermore, the electrochemical impedance spectra of NiO and CoO nanorod arrays in a magnetic field show the least charge transfer resistance. This study sheds light on the interaction process between external fields and radiative/non-radiative recombination of manipulating carriers. Thus, the application of a magnetic field presents an efficient and versatile approach to enhance the performance of photoelectrodes in solar water splitting.","PeriodicalId":18277,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra demonstrate that the incorporation of Au NPs notably raises the work function of MAM to 5.85 eV and stabilize Mo concentrations at 94.07%. In addition, Au NPs effectively act as a shield against detrimental interactions with Ag, thereby improving the interfacial stability between the back electrode and HTL. This strategic enhancement facilitates the formation of surface plasmon polaritons, reduces the contact resistance to 41.19 mΩ cm, and boosts the quantum efficiency by injecting hot electrons and intensifying the surface electric field.

Compared with the commercial GF separator, this flexible ceramic separator has less thickness and superior electrolyte wettability, resulting in improved interfacial compatibility and minimized interfacial resistance. Moreover, its exceptional flexibility and toughness (stress of 39.34 MPa) coupled with uniform nanopore structure, which can effectively resist the penetration of dendrites. As expected, this ceramic flexible separator facilitates stable cycling of the symmetric battery for over 1762 h at 2 mA/cm and 2 mAh/cm. It also permits the pouch Al//flake graphite full battery to achieve a coulombic efficiency of up to 90% even after 115 cycles.

The NaV(PO) has two typical polymorphs including rhombohedral and monoclinic phases; the former has been extensively studied, whereas the latter is rarely reported. Here, we successfully designed monoclinic NaV(PO)-based cathode via Ga and Fe substitutions owing to the lowered lattice energy. In addition, we revealed that Ga substitution improves average voltage owing to the activation of the V/V redox couple and the Fe substitution enhances rate capability due to the decreased band gap and Na-ion diffusion activation energy. As a result, the designed monoclinic NaVGaFe(PO) cathode exhibits high voltage plateaus (3.4 V and 4 V) and high-rate capability (from 116.8 mA h/g at 0.2 C to 103 mA h/g at 20 C) as well as superior cycling stability (99.9% capacity retention over 4,500 cycles at 5 C).

The cycloaddition of CO with epoxides provides perfect atom economy and economic feasibility to produce versatile cyclic carbonates used in various industries. However, the stable nature of CO and epoxides requires highly active catalysts. In this work, the repurpose of nitrogenous waste melamine foams (MFs) as high-performance catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO was explored. The pyrolyzed MF was modified with Cu to prepare a series of acid-base bifunctional porous catalysts (MFC-X-Cu). The results demonstrate that the acid-base synergy of the MFC-X-Cu catalysts increases the efficiency of the cycloaddition of various epoxides, yielding target products at 96–99% under mild conditions. Moreover, the characterization results revealed that the superior performance of MFC-X-Cu stems from its hollow structure and acid-base synergy, which are derived from nitrogen species in the repurposed MF and the post-modified copper component. The catalyst maintained consistent catalytic efficiency over five cycles, highlighting its strong recyclability.
