Photoelectrosplitting Water Mechanism at Carbon Electrode Surface using Indoor lights

Abstract

This research aims to investigate process and mechanism of splitting water by illumination copper oxide using indoor lights. We report here an innovative approach, in which the lights are used from low energy and rarely never using in general photovoltaic system. The illumination is monitoring with high resolution CMOS Camera, 13 MPixel of OPPO X9006, to capture image of spliiting water. Splitting of water to produce hydrogen due on the Carbon (Graphite) electrode surface with electricity current from Cu 2 O/Al PV Cell and Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte. Tandem of PV cell and Electrolysis Cell (PV-EC) produce Hydrogen gas, in which electric current is 4.27 Voltage and 0.920 mA in Na 2 SO 4 0.5 N optimal condition. PV Cell use Cu 2 O/Al as electrode with surface area 0.003711 m 2 . With eleven PV cell series arrangement (surface area = 0.018555m 2 ), produce voltage 4,27V (this voltage was exceed minimum voltage for water splitting with voltage 4,27V) and current 0.910 mA. The process of water splitting observed at initiation of formation H 2 gas and H 2 release at carbon surface. After 1 hour and 50 minutes, H 2 gas volume produced reach 0.00281 mL.

Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) : Characteristics and Molecular Interaction in Solution

“…Konsep nya adalah makin besar mobilitas ion (182)(183)(184)(185)(186) dalam larutan, maka makin besar pula kontribusinya pada konduktivitas (untuk muatan tertentu).…”

“…Jika dua elektroda (187) yang terpisah dengan jarak ι berada pada selisih potensial ∆ϕ, maka ion dalam larutan di antara kedua elektroda itu, mengalami medan listrik seragam, yaitu:…”

Studi Termodinamika Transpor Ionik Natrium Klorida Dalam Air dan Campuran Tertentu

“…Kemampuan suatu larutan dalam mengantarkan listrik disebut dengan konduktivitas listrik. Arus listrik dihantarkan oleh ion ion yang terkandung didalam larutan sehingga konduktivitas (178)(179)(180)(181) listrik hanya memperhitungkan banyaknya ion pada larutan.…”

Sol Gel : Principle and Technique (A Review)

“…Pada umumnya, tahapan proses sol gel terbagi atas tiga bagian, yaitu hidrolisis, kondensasi alkohol, dan kondensasi air. Ada juga beberapa sumber yang mengatakan bahwasanya tahapan proses sol gel itu terbagi atas empat tahap, yaitu hidrolisis, kondensasi, aging atau pematangan, dan drying atau pengeringan (179)(180)(181)(182)(183)(184)(185)(186)(187)(188)(189)(190).…”
