Consequently, a comprehensive review of the current research status of MIL-125 based electrodes in PEC is warranted. This review provides an in-depth analysis of various PEC applications employing MIL-125 based photoelectrodes, such as sensing (including PEC biosensors, organic pollutant detection, and heavy metal ion sensing), water splitting for hydrogen production, photovoltaic cells (including dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum dot-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and organic solar cells), photoelectrocatalysis, and photocathodic protection. Particular emphasis is placed on the signal amplification strategies, modification design, and reaction mechanisms of MIL-125 for PEC applications. Finally, the development opportunities and unsolved challenges associated with MIL-125 based materials in the PEC field are also highlighted.

However, recent experimental studies under realistic conditions, have shown the release of lattice nitride to ammonia in a noncatalytic process, suggesting inherent instability of these materials. TMNs stability can be increased by the incorporation of a second metal in the lattice, to form bimetallic systems.

While sintering aids like CeO₂ promote densification, CeAlO₃ exhibited lower reactivity during both SPS and GPS sintering. Chemical reactions between cerium oxide and aluminium oxide primarily involved the reduced phase as cerium sesquioxide (Ce₂O₃). On the basis on the Ce₂O₃–Al₂O₃ pseudo-binary system, the formation of secondary phases, such as CeAlO₃ and CeAl₁₁O₁₈, during sintering was explained and confirmed by XRD. From complementary characterizations, it has been shown that sintering significantly impacted secondary phase composition and distribution. By employing specific densification cycles, SPS yielded smaller grains and thicker secondary phase cordons which led to enhanced electrical conductivity. Conversely, GPS produced coarser microstructures including larger grains and a network of secondary phases and some agglomerations at the triple points. These modifications influenced the overall conductivity. SPSed samples with 3 wt.% CeO₂ and short dwelling times demonstrated higher electrical conductivity, exceeding by about 6 orders of magnitude the electrical conductivity of those obtained by GPS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":415,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Solid State Chemistry","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 100473"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141604994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
