• Assessing the photoelectrochemical properties of C, N, F codoped TiO2 nanotubes of different lengths 

      Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Xu, Kaiqi; Mei, Sen; Yang, Juan; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Simon, Christian; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The aim of this work has been the photoelectrochemical (PEC) study of nanostructured photoanodes based on TiO2. Highly ordered and well adhered TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) of different lengths (∼2–20 μm) were prepared in a ...
    • Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers 

      Sun, Xinwei; Xu, Kaiqi; Fleischer, Christian; Liu, Xin; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Strandbakke, Ragnar; Bjørheim, Tor Svendsen; Norby, Truls Eivind; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In order to adopt water electrolyzers as a main hydrogen production system, it is critical to develop inexpensive and earth-abundant catalysts. Currently, both half-reactions in water splitting depend heavily on noble metal ...
    • High performance and toxicity assessment of Ta3N5 nanotubes for photoelectrochemical water splitting 

      Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Risbakk, Sanne; Yang, Mingyi; Backe, Paul Hoff; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this work, Co-based cocatalysts are electrodeposited on mesoporous Ta3N5 nanotubes. The electrodeposition time is varied and the optimized photoelectrode reaches a photocurrent density of 6.3 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs. SHE, ...

    • Hydrogen from wet air and sunlight in a tandem photoelectrochemical cell 

      Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Vøllestad, Einar; Ruan, Qiushi; Tang, Junwang; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A solid-state photoelectrochemical (SSPEC) cell is an attractive approach for solar water splitting, especially when it comes to monolithic device design. In a SSPEC cell the electrodes distance is minimized, while the use ...
    • Preparation of TiO2 rutile nanorods decorated with cobalt oxide nanoparticles for solar photoelectrochemical activity 

      Grandcolas, Mathieu; Wabende, Brian; Yang, Juan; Mei, Sen; Xu, Kaiqi; Norby, Truls Eivind; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The present paper investigates the preparation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods decorated with cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles and its application as solar photoelectrocatalyst. TiO2 rutile nanorods have been prepared ...
