Comprehensive Evaluation for Protective Coatings: Optical, Electrical, Photoelectrochemical, and Spectroscopic Characterizations.

Comprehensive Evaluation for Protective Coatings: Optical, Electrical, Photoelectrochemical, and Spectroscopic Characterizations

This SOP details procedures for mapping the the photoelectrochemical activity of photoelectrodes by SECM. This SOP details methods to characterize photocatalytic activity on either n-type photoanodes or p-type photocathodes. This method is applicable to planar electrodes with low aspect ratio surface structures.

This SOP details procedures for measuring the flat band potential of n- and p- type semiconductors.

Long-Term Stability Metrics of Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.

This SOP details procedures for determining the activity and stability of catalysts for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions.

This SOP details procedures for estimating the optical bandgap of photoelectrodes.

The purpose of this SOP is to define a standard set of definitions, metrics, units, and conventions for photoelectrochemical (PEC) waters splitting.  The goal is to ensure that the literature is consistent from research group to research group, and data is reported in similar formats, such that results can be compared on a similar basis. This SOP is a first draft and is intended to be revised and added to in collaboration with the PEC community.

The purpose of this SOP is to provide details on PEC cell fabrication and assembly of the cell described in: Karl A. Walczak, Gideon Segev, David M. Larson, Jeffrey W. Beeman, Frances A. Houle, Ian D. Sharp, “Hybrid Composite Coatings for Durable and Efficient Solar Hydrogen Generation under Diverse Operating Conditions”, Advanced Energy Materials, 7 (2017), 1602792
