Surface fluorination of α-Fe2O3 using selectfluor for enhancement in photoelectrochemical properties
Download2022-09-22
Fluorinated α-Fe2O3 nanostructures are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route using Selectfluor™ (F-TEDA) as a fluorinating as well as growth directing agent. The addition of incrementally increasing amount of F-TEDA to Fe precursor under hydrothermal conditions resulted in preferential...

Water-splitting photoelectrodes consisting of heterojunctions of carbon nitride with a p-type low bandgap double perovskite oxide
Download2022-09-25
Quinary and senary non-stoichiometric double perovskites such as Ba2Ca0.66Nb1.34−xFexO6−δ (BCNF) have been utilized for gas sensing, solid oxide fuel cells and thermochemical CO2 reduction. Herein, we examined their potential as narrow bandgap semiconductors for use in solar energy harvesting. A...
