Ceria-doped SnO2 nanocubes for solar light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen production

Aashish Moses et al.

Summary: The photocatalytic generation of hydrogen using metal oxide semiconductor catalysts is a promising solution for clean and renewable energy. This study focuses on enhancing the hydrogen production rate of SnO2 by doping it with ceria, which extends its light absorption range into the visible spectrum. The doped catalyst exhibits a unique cuboid morphology, providing more active sites for light absorption and resulting in a remarkable increase in hydrogen production. The reduced charge recombination and prolonged lifetime of active species in the doped catalyst explain the enhanced hydrogen production rates. Furthermore, the catalyst shows good recyclability, maintaining a high hydrogen yield even after multiple cycles.

Ram Datt et al.

Summary: Organic solar cells (OSCs) have made remarkable progress in terms of power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operational lifetime by improving active layer materials and introducing new interlayers. Recently, down-conversion (DC) materials have been introduced to effectively convert high-energy photons to low-energy photons and improve the absorption limit of OSCs in the high energy incident spectrum. Additionally, DC materials can protect OSCs from UV-induced degradation.

Multicomponent pyrochlore solid solutions with uranium incorporation-A new perspective of materials design for nuclear applications

Kun Yang et al.

Summary: Multicomponent pyrochlore solid solutions were fabricated with and without uranium, showing that compositions without uranium have comparable thermal conductivity and higher mechanical strength compared to baseline single component rare-earth titanate pyrochlore. Uranium incorporation reduces hardness. High entropy pyrochlore with uranium exhibits the highest thermal conductivity and better mechanical properties. The study suggests that controlling chemical disorder/mixing entropy can help design multicomponent oxide solid solutions with desired properties for potential nuclear waste form and inert matrix fuel applications.
