6. 4. Artificial Water Splitting: Ruthenium Complexes for Water Oxidation

   Author : Lele Duan; Licheng Sun; Matthias Beller; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water oxidation; ruthenium; electrochemistry; DFT calculation; photoelectrochemistry; negatively charged ligand; catalyst;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the development and study of Ru-based water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) which are the essential components for solar energy conversion to fuels. The first chapter gives a general introduction about the field of homogenous water oxidation catalysis, including the catalytic mechanisms and the catalytic activities of some selected WOCs as well as the concerns of catalyst design.

7. 5. Nanostructured ZnO electrodes for solar cell applications

   Author : Karin Keis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Zinc oxide; nanostructured; mesoporous; photoelectrochemistry; solar cells; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this thesis the possibilities of using nanostructured dye-sensitized ZnO electrodes for solar energy conversion in photoelectrochemical solar cells are investigated. In order to characterize the photoelectrochemical properties of unsensitized ZnO films, measurements were performed using a short laser pulse (laser flash induced current transients) and under continuous illumination (steady-state).
