Attempts were made to compare the photocatalytic efficacy in between quasi-fiber and near spherical commercial grade ZnO through the addition of monoclinic WO3nanocuboid. Mixed oxide semiconductors were assessed for their dye degradation performance under irradiation of visible light energy. Surface area and the particle morphology pattern have an influence on the resultant photocatalytic features of these mixed oxide composites. The high porous quasi-fibrous ZnO was successfully fabricated by a simple solution combustion method. It is deliberately made of clusters of primary near spherical particles that supports WO3nanocuboid embedment and shows interactive characteristics in comparison to the counterpart commercial near spherical ZnO combined with WO3. The photocatalytic activity significantly increases up to 95% under visible radiation for 90 min due to high surface area imparted by unique quasi-fiber morphology. The photogenerated electron-hole pair interaction mechanism has been proposed to support the photocatalytic behavior.

Electrochemical Anodization

High surface area of tungsten oxide (WO3) nanoplates films was prepared via simple electrochemical anodization technique by controlling the fluoride content (NH4F) in electrolyte. The design and development of WO3-based nanostructure assemblies have gained significant interest in order to maximize specific surface area for harvesting more photons to trigger photocatalytic oxidation reaction. This study aims to determine the optimum content of NH4F in forming WO3nanoplates on W film with efficient photocatalytic oxidation reaction for organic dye degradation by utilizing our solar energy. The NH4F was found to influence the chemical dissolution and field-assisted dissolution rates, thus modifying the final morphological of WO3-based nanostructure assemblies film. It was found that 0.7 wt% of NH4F is the minimum amount to grow WO3nanoplates film on W film. The photocatalysis oxidation experimental results showed that WO3nanoplates film exhibited a maximum degradation of methyl orange dye (≈75%) under solar illumination for 5 hours. This behavior was attributed to the better charge carriers transportation and minimizes the recombination losses with specific surface area of nanoplates structure.

<p>This study evaluated the performance of the commonly used strong buffer electrolytes, i.e. phosphate buffers, during CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction in neutral pH conditions by using in-situ surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS). Unfortunately, the buffers break down a lot faster than anticipated which has serious implications on many studies in the literature such as selectivity and kinetic analysis of the electrocatalysts. Increasing electrolyte concentration, surprisingly, did not extend the potential window of the phosphate buffers due to dramatic increase in hydrogen evolution reaction. Even high concentration phosphate buffers (1 M) break down within the potentials (-1 V vs RHE) where hydrocarbons are formed on copper electrodes. We have extended the discussion to high surface area electrodes by evaluating electrodes composed of copper nanowires. We would like highlight that it is not possible to cope with high local current densities on these high surface area electrodes by using high buffer capacity solutions and the CO<sub>2</sub> electrocatalysts are needed to be evaluated by casting thin nanoparticle films onto inert substrates as commonly employed in fuel cell reactions and up to now scarcely employed in CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction. In addition, we underscore that normalization of the electrocatalytic activity to the electrochemical active surface area is not the ultimate solution due to concentration gradient along the catalyst layer.This will “underestimate” the activity of high surface electrocatalyst and the degree of underestimation will depend on the thickness, porosity and morphology of the catalyst layer. </p> <p> </p>
