The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is considered a key reaction for electrochemical energy conversion but slow kinetics hamper application in electrolyzers, metal-air batteries and other applications that rely on sustainable protons from water oxidation. In this review, the prospect of epitaxial perovskite oxides for the OER at room temperature in alkaline media is reviewed with respect to fundamental insight into systematic trends of the activity. First, we thoroughly define the perovskite structure and its parameter space. Then, the synthesis methods used to make electrocatalytic epitaxial perovskite oxide are surveyed and we classify the different kinds of electrodes that can be assembled for electrocatalytic investigations. We briefly discuss the semiconductor physics of epitaxial perovskite electrodes and their consequences for the interpretation of catalytic results. OER investigations on epitaxial perovskite oxides are comprehensively surveyed and selected trends are graphically highlighted. The review concludes with a short perspective on opportunities for future electrocatalytic research on epitaxial perovskite oxide systems.

The burning of fossil fuels in industry results in significant carbon emissions, and the heat generated is often not fully utilized. For high-temperature industries, thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is an effective means of waste heat recovery. This review covers two aspects of high-efficiency TPV systems and industrial waste heat applications. At the system level, representative results of TPV complete systems, selective emitters and photovoltaic cells in the last decade are compiled, and key points of components to improve energy conversion efficiency is further analyzed. At the application level, the feasibility of TPV in high-temperature industrial applications is shown from the world waste heat utilization situation, and then the potential of TPV in waste heat recovery is illustrated with the steel industry as an example.

“…This has historically provided low growth rates but afforded excellent control over junction formation, doping profiles, and buffer grading between III–V’s. , As a result, MOVPE semiconductor growth costs are high not only due to the expense and low utilization of its toxic and pyrophoric precursors but also due to the slow growth leading to large contributions of safety infrastructure, reactor depreciation, maintenance, and labor costs per layer . The same level of materials control has been demonstrated in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), but production costs for this technique are even higher due to lower growth rates and limits on scalability imposed by high-vacuum growth environments. , …”

Low-Cost Approaches to III–V Semiconductor Growth for Photovoltaic Applications

et al. 2017

III–V semiconductors form the most efficient single- and multijunction photovoltaics. Metal–organic vapor-phase epitaxy, which uses toxic and pyrophoric gas-phase precursors, is the primary commercial growth method for these materials. In order for the use of highly efficient III–V-based devices to be expanded as the demand for renewable electricity grows, a lower-cost approach to the growth of these materials is needed. This Review focuses on three deposition techniques compatible with current device architectures: hydride vapor-phase epitaxy, close-spaced vapor transport, and thin-film vapor–liquid–solid growth. We consider recent advances in each technique, including the available materials space, before providing an in-depth comparison of growth technology advantages and limitations and considering the impact of modifications to the method of production on the cost of the final photovoltaics.
