Photocatalytic Decomposition of Water in Fe2O3 Nano-Arrays by Lanzhou Institute of Materials

The use of solar photovoltaic photocatalytic decomposition of water to make hydrogen is one of the effective means to solve the current energy shortage and environmental pollution. However, at present, the semiconductor material generally has a high photo-generated electron-hole recombination rate, which results in its low photoelectrocatalytic performance and severely limits its practical application.

The Nanocatalytic Materials Group of Energy and Environment of Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Patrik Schmuki, Professor of Erlangen-Nuremberg University, Germany, conducted in-depth and collaborative research. Recently, they have made new progress in the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting of Fe2O3 nanoribbon arrays and the separation of their photogenerated charge.

The researchers in-situ grown a Fe2O3 nanoribbon array with a uniform structure on an iron substrate by a heat treatment method, and selectively built an ultra-thin FeOOH nano-layer and Au nano-particles on the surface thereof, thereby forming a unique structure and high-efficiency photo-generated charge. Separated semiconductor photoanode material. It exhibits excellent photocatalytic water splitting performance and stability under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G), and the photocurrent densities of 1.23 VRHE and 1.6 VRHE can reach 3.2 and 6.5 mA cm-2. The researchers further studied the mechanism of their photoelectron-hole separation and found that the hot electrons formed by the plasmon resonance effect of Au nanoparticles were injected into the ultra-thin FeOOH nano-layer, while the photo-generated holes generated by the Fe2O3 nano-ribbon array migrated to the FeOOH layer at the same time. And, with the rapid thermal neutralization of Au nanoparticle-injected hot electrons, a hole-consumed layer with a unique photogenerated electron-hole separation effect is formed. However, after the separation of Fe2O3 nanoribbon arrays, the photogenerated electrons rapidly transfer to the counter electrode to participate in the water reduction reaction. At the same time, the hot holes enriched on the surface of Au nanoparticles participate in the water oxidation reaction.

This design structure can effectively promote the rapid separation and migration of photogenerated charge of semiconductor materials, and has certain guiding significance for the construction of high-efficiency solar photoelectrocatalytic water decomposition system. The relevant research results were published in journals such as Nano Energy (2017, 35, 171), ChemSusChem (2017, DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201700522).

The above research work has received funding support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Industry, and the OSSO National Key Laboratory Project.

Aluminium and steel Clothes Rods

Modern people's home life pursues fashion and simplicity. Clothes are mostly stored by hanging, which can not only keep the clothes bright, flat and wrinkle free, but also be selected at will and convenient for storage. Therefore, the hanging area has become the most important part of modern wardrobe. The core component of the hanging area is the clothes hanging rod, but there are many mysteries in a small clothes hanging rod.walk in closet organizer systems,Aluminium Wardrobe Tube,large closet system,clothes hanging poles,Clothes Rods.

Many brands of wardrobes are now known as "freely adjustable laminate, heart DIY", but in fact, "freely adjustable laminate" can be realized, but "heart DIY" is difficult to achieve. Because most brands of clothes hanging rods are fixedly installed on the side plate of the wardrobe, after adjusting the laminate, the clothes hanging rod cannot be adjusted freely. If forced adjustment, there is no doubt that two ugly holes will be left on the side plates on both sides, affecting the beauty of the wardrobe.

Therefore, if you want to truly "follow DIY" without wasting space, you can only install the clothes hanging rod on the laminate. When adjusting the laminate, the clothes hanging rod will change with the height of the laminate, the height of the clothes hanging space can be controlled freely, and will not cause any damage to the side plate. You can really follow your inclinations.

The hanging rods of all wardrobe products are installed on the laminate, fully considering the practicability of the wardrobe. Users can adjust the height of the laminate according to their preferences, so as to set their favorite hanging space, and truly realize the humanized "DIY". Moreover, considering that the clothes hanging rod is used to hang clothes, the load-bearing capacity is very important. It is easy to customize. The high-quality and solid aluminum alloy is used as the material of the clothes hanging rod to ensure its load-bearing capacity, and the anti-skid treatment is made on the clothes hanging rod, which is considerate and thoughtful.
