Computational modelling of water oxidation catalysts
(2018)In this opinion, we review the state-of-the-art in the modelling of the water oxidation reaction catalysed by homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. We start by introducing the potential and current limitations in the ... -
Copper silver thin films with metastable miscibility for oxygen reduction electrocatalysis in alkaline electrolytes
(2018)Increasing the activity of Ag-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important for improving the performance and economic outlook of alkaline-based fuel cell and metal–air battery technologies. In this ... -
Electrocatalysis of N-doped Carbons in the Oxygen Reduction Reaction as a function of pH: N-sites and Scaffold Effects
(2019)Metal-free nitrogenated amorphous carbon electrodes were synthesised via dc plasma magnetron sputtering and post-deposition annealing at different temperatures. The electrocatalytic activity of the electrodes towards the ... -
Electrochemical probing of the nanostructure of non-crystalline nitrogenated carbon materials for electrocatalysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Carbon materials are applied in a variety of electrochemical applications including fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, supercapacitors and biosensors. The doping of carbon materials with heteroatoms such as nitrogen has ... -
Growth of 1T′ MoTe2 by Thermally Assisted Conversion of Electrodeposited Tellurium Films
(2019)Molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) is a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) which has two phases stable under ambient conditions, a semiconducting (2H) and semimetallic (1T′) phase. Despite a host of interesting properties ... -
Redox and electrochemical water splitting catalytic properties of hydrated metal oxide modified electrodes
(2013)This paper presents a review of the redox and electrocatalytic properties of transition metal oxide electrodes, paying particular attention to the oxygen evolution reaction. Metal oxide materials may be prepared using ... -
Untangling cooperative effects of pyridinic and graphitic nitrogen sites at metal-free N-doped carbon electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction
(2019)Metal-free carbon electrodes with well-defined composition and smooth topography were prepared via sputter deposition followed by thermal treatment with inert and reactive gases. XPS and Raman ...
