UNSW SPREE 201304-11 Beniamino Iandolo - Sunlight-driven water splitting in photoelectrochemical PEC. UNSW School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering.
Sunlight-driven water splitting in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells is an attractive method for direct solar-to-fuel energy conversion. Hematite (Fe2O3), also known as rust, is a promising light absorber for PEC cells despite its non-optimal optoelectronic properties. An interesting strategy to improve its energy conversion efficiency is functionalization with metallic nanoparticles supporting localized surface plasmon resonances. In this talk, the beneficial effect of metallic nanodisks on the performance of photoanodes based on ultra-thin hematite films are presented and discussed.
