AbstractWe use a two-level energy model to understand the conversion process that takes place in thermoradiative cells and to compare it with the conversion process that happens in photovoltaic cells. In this way, we show that in both kinds of converters the conversion process can be studied as the succession of a change in the populations of the levels that occur at constant chemical potential and a change in the value of the chemical potential of the two levels that happens while keeping their populations constant. As an application of the model, we will discuss why in thermoradiative cells the open-circuit voltage is negative while it is positive in photovoltaic cells. We also show that the expression for the open-circuit voltage is the same in both kinds of cells but that due to the values of the temperatures it is negative in thermoradiative cells and positive in photovoltaic ones.

<div>A linear free energy model is presented that predicts the second order rate constant for the abiotic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). For this situation previously presented models use the one electron reduction potential of the NAC reaction. If such value is not available, it has been has been proposed that it could be computed directly or estimated from the electron affinity (EA). The model proposed herein uses the Gibbs free energy of the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) as the parameter in the linear free energy model. Both models employ quantum chemical computations for the required thermodynamic parameters. The available and proposed models are compared using second order rate constants obtained from five investigations reported in the literature in which a variety of NACs were exposed to a variety of reductants. A comprehensive analysis utilizing all the NACs and reductants demonstrate that the computed hydrogen atom transfer model and the experimental one electron reduction potential model have similar root mean square errors and residual error probability distributions. In contrast, the model using the computed electron affinity has a more variable residual error distribution with a significant number of outliers. The results suggest that a linear free energy model utilizing computed hydrogen transfer reaction free energy produces a more reliable prediction of the NAC abiotic reduction second order rate constant than previously available methods. The advantages of the proposed hydrogen atom transfer model and its mechanistic implications are discussed as well.</div>
