Inspired by artificial photosynthesis, the photoelectrolysis of water directly with sunlight to produce clean H₂ is a very promising route for solar energy conversion to chemical energy. Water splitting consists of two half reactions, namely the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). OER is kinetically...  [more]

Mono-dispersed nanocrystals with reduced dimensions exhibit novel chemical, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties not seen in their bulk counterparts and have therefore tantalized and attracted increasing research interest over the past decade for both their fundamental and technological importance...

Around 80 per cent of world’s current energy consumption is based on non-renewable fossil fuels. Due to the consumption of unsustainable energy source, new and feasible alternatives must be uncovered. Among the plethora of potential substitutes for fossil fuels, solar energy has gained... [more]
