Combined Experimental-Numerical Analysis of Transient Phenomena in a Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Cell

A combined experimental-numerical approach was used to study transient phenomena occurring in a photoelectrochemical cell using a membrane-separated porous TiO2-based photoanode and a dark Pt-based cathode. The effects of three parameters (pH in the anodic ...

Design guidelines for concentrated photo-electrochemical water splitting devices based on energy and greenhouse gas yield ratios

Sophia Haussener, Mikaël Dumortier

Device and system design choices for solar energy conversion and storage approaches require holistic design guidelines which simultaneously respect and optimize technical, economic, sustainability, and operating time constraints. We developed a simulation ...

Vapor-fed microfluidic hydrogen generator

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Sophia Haussener, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Mikaël Dumortier, Miguel Antonio Modestino

Water-splitting devices that operate with humid air feeds are an attractive alternative for hydrogen production as the required water input can be obtained directly from ambient air. This article presents a novel proof-of-concept microfluidic platform that ...

Heat transfer modeling in integrated photoelectrochemical hydrogen generators using concentrated irradiation

Sophia Haussener, Saurabh Yuvraj Tembhurne, Mikaël Dumortier

The direct conversion of solar energy and water into a storable fuel via integrated photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices is investigated. Particularly, the proposed device uses concentrated solar irradiation in order to minimize the amount of rare and expens ...
