Computational Modelling and Design of Cathode Materials for Sustainable Energy Applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Unravelling the activity and selectivity of novel heterogeneous catalysts requires a deep understanding of the effects unfolding at the catalytic surface. Particularly, this thesis emphasises the relevance of dopant ... -
Mechanism of Oxygen Reactions at Porous oxide Electrodes. Part 2. Oxygen evolution at ruthenium dioxide, iridium dioxide and mixed ruthenium iridium oxide electrodes in aqueous acid and alkaline solution
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)The kinetics mechanism of the oxygen evolution reaction at a series of RuO2/IrO2 mixed oxides in aqueous acid and alkaline solution has been examined using a variety of electrochemical methods. Factors affecting the ... -
Oxygen evolution at oxidized iron electrodes: a tale of two slopes
(2012)The electro-catalytic activity with respect to water oxidation to form molecular oxygen of iron oxyhydroxide thin films on iron support surfaces in aqueous base is described. A mechanism involving iron surfaquo groups is ... -
Quantifying Graphitic Edge Exposure in Graphene-Based Materials and Its Role in Oxygen Reduction Reactions
(2016)Oxygen electrochemistry is at the core of several emerging energy conversion technologies. The role of carbon nanostructures in the electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction is not well understood. Herein we report ... -
Synthesis of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides from Solid-Phase Precursors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Interest in telluride tranisition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has until very recently, lagged far behind that of more common TMDs such as MoS2. There are a number of potential reasons for this, such as these materials not ...
