Currently, great importance has been assigned to designing cutting-edge materials for oxygen and hydrogen generation from hybrid water electrolysis as an ideal fuel alternative in energy-conversion devices. This work reports on the electrochemical organic molecule oxidation in alkaline media, intending to promote water electrolysis at early onset potential with more current densities using Sn-Cu oxidized heterostructures. The electrocatalysts were easily and rapidly synthesized by the microwave-heated synthesis process in the presence of a small quantity of ethylene glycol. The X-ray diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses confirm the presence of CuO and SnO2 phases, which significantly improves the electrochemical activity of the composite toward the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) in alkaline media in the presence of 1.0 mol L−1 ethanol, yielding 8.0 mA cm−2 at 1.6 V. The charge transfer resistance (Rct) was determined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the result shows that the Rct of SnO2/CuO drastically decreased. The findings in this work highlight that the designed oxidized heterostructures with non-noble metals are promising candidates for energy conversion devices and sensors. Furthermore, this work confirms the advantages of using an assisted microwave heating process to develop an advanced SnO2/CuO composite with the potential to be used in electro-oxidation processes.

“…In order to develop low-cost [3], stable, and high-performance solar cells, various components of a DSSC have been extensively studied. Research on these key components included developing better photoanodes [4][5][6], synthesizing efficient sensitizers, and developing new electrolytes [7][8][9]. A TiO2 nanomaterial photoanode composed of and modified by noble metals can increase the specific surface area and increase the adsorption of dyes; manufacturing a photoanode with appropriate structural modification can also significantly improve the efficiency of a DSSC.…”

In this article, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were prepared and introduced into the double-layer photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Silver nanowires with a diameter of about 50–60 nm and a length of 1–2 mm were prepared by the polyol method. The power conversion efficiency of the double-layer photoanode DSSC made of AgNWs@TiO2 and AgNPs@TiO2 composite materials is 6.38%. Compared with the unmodified DSSC, the composite double-layer photoanode combined with AgNWs and AgNPs increased the efficiency of DSSC by 58.7%. This increased efficiency was mainly due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect caused by AgNPs and AgNWs. The increased light collection was caused by the plasma effect of AgNPs, and it increased the short-circuit photocurrent density (JSC). The conductive properties of AgNWs improved interface charge transfer and delay charge recombination. The effect of a low light environment on DSSC efficiency was also investigated, and the best photovoltaic conversion efficiency under an irradiance of 10 mW/cm2 was found to be 8.78%.
