    Abstract In this work, the application of high-power LED 365nm and commercial, low-price LED 398nm for heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO 2 and ZnO photocatalysts are studied and compared, focusing on the effect of light intensity, photon energy, quantum yield, electrical energy consumption, and effect of matrices and inorganic components on radical formation. Coumarin (COU) and its hydroxylated product (7-HC) were used to investigate operating parameters on the • OH formation rate. In addition to COU, two neonicotinoids, imidacloprid and thiacloprid, were also used to study the effect of various LEDs, matrices, and inorganic ions. The transformation of COU was slower for LED 398nm than for LED 365nm , but r 0 7-HC /r 0 COU ratio was significantly higher for LED 398nm . The COU mineralization rate was the same for both photocatalysts using LED 365nm , but a significant difference was observed using LED 398nm . The impact of matrices and their main inorganic components Cl − and HCO 3 − were significantly different for ZnO and TiO 2 . The negative effect of HCO 3 − was evident, however, in the case of high-power LED 365nm and TiO 2 , and the formation of CO 3 •− almost doubled the r 0 7-HC and contributes to the conversion of neonicotinoids by altering the product distribution and mineralization rate.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the photoelectrochemical behavior of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/carbon nanotube (CNT) and PEDOT/graphene nanocomposite photoelectrodes for the first time. Electrodeposition allowed control of both the composition and the morphology (as demonstrated by both transmission and scanning electron microscopy images) and also ensured an intimate contact between the PEDOT film and the nanocarbon scaffold. The effect of CNT and graphene on the photoelectrochemical behavior of the nanocomposite samples was studied by linear sweep photovoltammetry, incident photon-to-charge-carrier conversion efficiency measurements, and long-term photoelectrolysis coupled with gas-chromatographic product analysis. We demonstrated that the nanocarbon framework facilitated efficient charge carrier transport, resulting in a 4-fold increase in the measured photocurrents for the PEDOT/CNT electrode, compared to the bare PEDOT counterpart. The presented results contribute to the better understanding of the enhanced photoelectrochemical behavior of organic semiconductor/nanocarbon electrode assemblies and might encourage other researchers to study these intriguing hybrid materials further.

    Abstract In this communication, we demonstrate that polyaniline, the very first example of an organic semiconductor, is a promising photocathode material for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to alcohol fuels. CO₂ is a greenhouse gas; thus using solar energy to convert CO₂ to transportation fuels (such as methanol or ethanol) is a value-added approach to simultaneous generation of alternative fuels and environmental remediation of carbon emissions. Insights into its unique behavior obtained from photoelectrochemical measurements and adsorption studies, together with spectroscopic data, are presented. Through a comparative study involving various conducting polymers, a set of criteria is developed for an organic semiconductor to function as a photocathode for generation of solar fuels from CO₂.

    Abstract The charging of a mesoscopic TiO2 layer in a metal halide perovskite solar cell can influence the overall power conversion efficiency. By employing CsPbBr3 films deposited on a mesoscopic TiO2 film, we have succeeded in probing the influence of electrochemical bias on the charge carrier recombination process. The transient absorption spectroscopy experiments conducted at different applied potentials indicate a decrease in the charge carrier lifetimes of CsPbBr3 as we increase the potential from −0.6 to +0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl. The charge carrier lifetime increased upon reversing the applied bias, thus indicating the reversibility of the photoresponse to charging effects. The ultrafast spectroelectrochemical experiments described here offer a convenient approach to probe the charging effects in perovskite solar cells.
