  High-temperature instability of the Ca3Co4−yO9+δ and CaMnO3−δ direct p-n junction causing the formation of Ca3Co2−xMnxO6 has motivated the investigation of the thermoelectric performance of this intermediate phase. Here, the thermoelectric properties comprising Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of Ca3Co2−xMnxO6 with x = 0.05, 0.2, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 are reported. Powders of the materials were synthesized by the solid-state method, followed by conventional sintering. The material Ca3CoMnO6 (x = 1) demonstrated a large positive Seebeck coefficient of 668 μV/K at 900 °C, but very low electrical conductivity. Materials with compositions with x < 1 had lower Seebeck coefficients and higher electrical conductivity, consistent with small polaron hopping with an activation energy for mobility of 44 ± 6 kJ/mol and where both the concentration and mobility of hole charge carriers were proportional to 1−x. The conductivity reached about 11 S·cm−1 at 900 °C for x = 0.05. The material Ca3Co1.8Mn0.2O6 (x = 0.2) yielded a maximum zT of 0.021 at 900 °C. While this value in itself is not high, the thermodynamic stability and self-assembly of Ca3Co2−xMnxO6 layers between Ca3Co4−yO9+δ and CaMnO3−δ open for new geometries and designs of oxide-based thermoelectric generators.

  We herein report inter-diffusion across the interface between p-type Ni0.98Li0.02O and n-type Zn0.98Al0.02O for various applications including p-n-heterojunction diodes and oxide thermoelectrics. Diffusion couples were made of polished surfaces of ceramic samples pre-sintered at 1250 and 1350 °C for Ni0.98Li0.02O and Zn0.98Al0.02O, respectively. The inter-diffusion couples were annealed at 900–1200 °C for 160 h in ambient air. Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) was used to acquire diffusion profiles, followed by fitting to Fick's second law and Whipple–Le Claire's models for bulk and grain-boundary diffusion calculation, respectively. Zn2+ diffused into Ni0.98Li0.02O mainly by bulk diffusion with an activation energy of 250 ± 10 kJ/mol, whereas Ni2+ diffused into Zn0.98Al0.02O by both bulk and enhanced grain boundary diffusion with activation energies of 320 ± 120 kJ/mol and 245 ± 50 kJ/mol, respectively. The amount of Al3+ diffused from the Al-doped ZnO into the NiO phase was too small for a corresponding diffusion coefficient to be calculated. Li-ion distribution and diffusivity were not determined due to lack of analyzer sensitivity for Li. The bulk and effective diffusivities of Zn2+ and Ni2+ into NiO and ZnO enable prediction of inter-diffusion lengths as a function of time and temperature, allowing estimates of device performance, stability, and lifetimes at different operation temperatures.

  Diffusivity on the A- and B-site of polycrystalline perovskite CaMnO3-δ with Ca deficiency and spinel CaMn2O4 (marokite) as a secondary phase was studied using chemical tracers and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) complemented by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Thin films containing Sr and Co chemical tracers were deposited on the polished surface of the polycrystalline composite sample followed by annealing at 800 – 1200 °C for 96 h. Diffusion profiles for each tracer were determined with SIMS, followed by calculation of diffusion coefficients by fitting to appropriate models. The Sr tracer showed mainly lattice diffusion, with an activation energy of 210±30 kJ/mol, whereas the Co tracer showed a combination of lattice and enhanced grain-boundary diffusion, with activation energies of 270±30 kJ/mol and 380±40 kJ/mol, respectively. The diffusivities may be used to predict interdiffusion and lifetime of junctions between n-type CaMnO3-δ or CaMnO3-δ/CaMn2O4 composites and metallization interlayers or p-type leg materials in oxide thermoelectrics. In particular, the relatively high effective diffusivity of Co in polycrystalline CaMnO3 δ may play a role in the reported fast formation of the secondary phase (Ca3Co2-yMnyO6) between p-type Ca3Co3.92O9+δ and n-type CaMnO3-δ in a direct p-n thermoelectric junction.

  The electrical properties of a p–n heterojunction of polycrystalline p-type Ni0.98Li0.02O and n-type Zn0.98Al0.02O have been investigated for potential applications in high-temperature oxide-based thermoelectric generators without metallic interconnects. Current–voltage characteristics of the junction were measured in a two-electrode setup in ambient air at 500–1000°C. The resistance and rectification of the junction decreased with increasing temperature. A non-ideal Shockley diode model was used to fit the measured current–voltage data in order to extract characteristic parameters of the junction, such as area specific series resistance Rs and parallel shunt resistance Rp, non-ideality factor, and the saturation current density. Rs and Rp decreased exponentially with temperature, with activation energies of 0.4 ± 0.1 eV and 1.1 ± 0.2 eV, respectively. The interface resistance of the direct p–n junction studied here is as such too high for practical applications in thermoelectrics. However, it is demonstrated that it can be reduced by an order of magnitude by using a composite of the individual materials at the interface, yielding a large effective contact area.

  In this work, we grow oriented photonic TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) with a well-established anodization method and their intrinsic catalytic and electronic properties are studied by means of (photo)electrochemical methods. The oriented photonic TNTs are assessed by the RctCdl (ΩF) product, which is a measure of the intrinsic photoelectrocatalytic activity (IPA) of the material. The RctCdl product decouples any surface area effects and it can be applied at any potential and accompanied reaction without knowing the actual electrochemically active surface area (EASA). Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is used in order to investigate the frequency dispersion in the single frequency Mott-Schottky (MS) measurement. The choice of frequency and the frequency dispersion in MS measurements in nanostructured and of high surface area semiconductors are rarely addressed and can result in erroneous values of two important parameters, i.e. flat band position and donor or acceptor densities. This work provides further insights into important electrochemical aspects and catalytic properties of high surface area nanomaterials for photoelectrochemical applications.

  All-oxide thermoelectric modules for energy harvesting are attractive due to high temperature stability, low cost, and the potential to use non-scarce and non-toxic elements. Thermoelectric modules are mostly fabricated in the conventional π-design, associated with the challenge of unstable metallic interconnects at high temperature. Here, we report on a novel approach to fabrication of a thermoelectric module with an in situ formed p-p-n junction made of state-of-the-art oxides Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (p-type) and CaMnO3-CaMn2O4 composite (n-type). The module was fabricated by spark plasma co-sintering of p- and n-type powders partly separated by insulating LaAlO3. Where the n- and p-type materials originally were in contact, a layer of p-type Ca3CoMnO6 was formed in situ. The hence formed p-p-n junction exhibited ohmic behavior and a transverse thermoelectric effect, boosting the open circuit voltage of the module. The performance of the module was characterized at 700 - 900 °C, with the highest power output of 5.7 mW (around 23 mW/cm2) at 900 °C and a temperature difference of 160 K. The thermoelectric properties of the p- and n-type materials were measured in the temperature range 100 - 900 °C, where the highest zT of 0.39 and 0.05 were obtained at 700 and 800 °C, respectively, for Ca3Co4-xO9+δ and the CaMnO3-CaMn2O4 composite.

  Due to high figure of merit, Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (CCO) has potential as p-type material for high-temperature thermoelectrics. Here, the influence of processing including solid state sintering, spark plasma sintering and post-calcination on stability, microstructure and thermoelectric properties is reported. By a new post-calcination approach, single-phase materials were obtained from precursors to final dense ceramics in one step. The highest zT of 0.11 was recorded at 800 °C for CCO with 98 and 72 % relative densities. In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction in air and oxygen revealed a higher stability of CCO in oxygen ( ̴ 970 °C) than in air ( ̴ 930 °C), with formation of Ca3Co2O6 which also showed high stability in oxygen, even at 1125 °C. Since achievement of phase pure high density CCO by post-calcination method in air is challenging, the phase stability of CCO in oxygen is important for understanding and further improvement of the method.

  In order to adopt water electrolyzers as a main hydrogen production system, it is critical to develop inexpensive and earth-abundant catalysts. Currently, both half-reactions in water splitting depend heavily on noble metal catalysts. This review discusses the proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis (WE) and the progress in replacing the noble-metal catalysts with earth-abundant ones. The efforts within this field for the discovery of efficient and stable earth-abundant catalysts (EACs) have increased exponentially the last few years. The development of EACs for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media is particularly important, as the only stable and efficient catalysts until now are noble-metal oxides, such as IrOx and RuOx. On the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) side, there is significant progress on EACs under acidic conditions, but there are very few reports of these EACs employed in full PEM WE cells. These two main issues are reviewed, and we conclude with prospects for innovation in EACs for the OER in acidic environments, as well as with a critical assessment of the few full PEM WE cells assembled with EACs.

  The aim of this work has been the photoelectrochemical (PEC) study of nanostructured photoanodes based on TiO2. Highly ordered and well adhered TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) of different lengths (∼2–20 μm) were prepared in a two-step process in ethylene glycol solutions containing fluorides, and detailed XPS analysis showed that they have become co-doped with C, N and F. PEC measurements revealed that increasing surface area is not followed by increase in the photoconversion efficiency, but rather that an optimal balance between electroactive surface area (ESA) and charge carrier concentration exists. TNTs of around 10 μm show the optimum incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) of ∼33% and an overall photoconversion efficiency of ∼6.3% under UV illumination of 4 mW cm−2 light intensity. Finally, Mott-Schottky analysis revealed significant frequency dispersion of the estimated space charge layer capacitance, which renders the accurate estimation of the flatband position and charge carrier concentration unreliable. On the other hand, more realistic charge carrier concentrations can be obtained by normalizing the capacitance per ESA.

  Water vapour chemisorbs on surfaces as protons and hydroxide ions at elevated temperatures and physisorbs as molecular water at lower temperatures in ice-like thin and liquid-like thick layers, respectively. Also hydrogen adsorbs and dissociates. All adsorbates give rise to surface protonic conduction of different mechanisms and magnitude depending on temperature and acidity of the surface. The surface protonic conduction may be used in electrolytes for electrochemical cells, but in this talk focus is more on its effect in some catalytic processes in finely porous nanomaterials.

  Polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM) fuel cells and electrolysers offer efficient use and production of H2 for emission-free transport and sustainable energy systems. In order to reduce the cost,complexity,flooding,catalyst poisoning and degradation,operation above 80°C and at lower relative humidities(RH) is preferable. Acid doped polybenzimidazole(PBI),sulfonated polyetheretherketone(SPEEK) and their composites are being investigated for high temperature and low RH operation with sufficient conductivities.

  Defect chemistry has given the possibility to control and tune properties to obtain better functional bulk materials. In comparison, and despite the recent interest and prospects of twodimensional materials, their defect chemistry remains mainly unexplored. We believe that an understanding of the influence of the dielectric environment on the defect chemistry and properties is crucial for further developing new and superior 2D materials. Here, we present results from our computational work on selected point defects in monolayer MoS2. Investigated defects comprises molybdenum and sulphur vacancies in addition to hydrosulfide on sulphur site.

  Defect chemistry has given the possibility to control and tune properties to obtain better functional bulk materials. In comparison, and despite the recent interest and prospects of two-dimensional materials, their defect chemistry remains mainly unexplored. We believe that an understanding of the influence of the dielectric environment on the defect chemistry and properties is crucial for further developing new and superior 2D materials. Here, we present results for molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) films on Si/SiO2 substrates. Methods comprise magnetron sputtering of Mo with subsequent annealing in H2S atmosphere and the chemical vapour transport method. The films and defects are characterised by AFM, XPS, photoluminescence, optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy in addition to electrical measurements in controlled atmospheres. Ab initio computations on a variety of point defects and defect clusters further elucidate the defect chemistry.

  Starting my first research in inorganic chemistry, I stumbled across hydrogen where and when I and everyone else did not expect to find it – it is so common and yet so un-common. It makes bonds more different than any other element – polar and purely covalent as protons and atoms, metallic when it pleases, and ionic as hydride ions. Consequently, it shows up in very different forms and locations and has taken me for a journey to my roots in physical chemistry and to electrochemistry – some things discovered and some mysteries remaining. Hydrogen holds a historical role in the establishment of major Norwegian industry, and we today host world-leading production of electrolyzers for the emerging markets of hydrogen for storage and as carrier of renewable electrical energy. Many different types of solids contain or may take up water and become solid-state proton conductors by various mechanisms of transport. They may be used as electrolytes in novel types of fuel cells and electrolyzers for hydrogen and renewable energy, as well as in electrocatalytic reactors for upgrading natural gas to liquids or hydrogen with minimal carbon emissions or with carbon capture and storage. The research involves experimental and ab initio computational methods to understand hydrogen in its various forms from gas phase, via surfaces and charge transfer at electrode interfaces, into mobile ions in crystalline or liquid-like condensed phases.
