Electrochemical detection of H-2 using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has shown to hold great promise as a sensitive characterization method with high spatial resolution for active surfaces generating H-2. Herein, the factors contributing to the current that is measured by SECM in generation/collection mode for H-2 detection are studied. In particular, the concentration gradient of H-2 at the substrate, the H-2/H+ recycling between the SECM tip and substrate and hemispherical profile of H-2 diffusion has been discussed. It was postulated that H-2/H+ recycling plays a dominant role in the oxidative current measured in generation/collection mode of SECM when the microelectrode …

Self-supported one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous Pt nanowires (NWs) are prepared by confining micelle assembly in channels of a polycarbonate (PC) membrane. The obtained mesoporous Pt NWs show very high electrochemical activity and excellent durability as catalysts for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in comparison with the commercially available Pt black (PtB) catalyst. This work demonstrates that an appropriate combination of both self-supported 1D shape and mesoporous architecture indeed improve the electrocatalytic performances which is critical for further implementation and practical applications.

Three perovskite nitride oxides CeTiNO2, PrTiNO2, and NdTiNO2 have been synthesized and their electronic structures and photocatalytic activities characterized and compared to LaTiNO2. All three compounds have band gaps that fall in the range 2.0 − 2.1 eV, very similar to LaTiNO2, which enables them to absorb a significant fraction of the visible spectrum. Photocatalytic oxygen evolution studies under visible light irradiation in the presence of a sacrificial electron acceptor (Ag+) show that the activity of NdTiNO2 (16 μmol/g/hr) is comparable to that of LaTiNO2 (17 μmol/g/hr), …
