  • All-Solid-State Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting for Hydrogen Generation 
    Xu, Kaiqi (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)
    The combination of solar energy and water splitting hydrogen production results in a feasible, prospective energy conversion and storage process—photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, an all-solid-state ...
  • Artificial photosynthesis: Advanced nanomaterials and use of biocatalysts for novel photoelectrochemical cells 
    Xu, Kaiqi (Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2020)
    The capture and storage of solar energy in chemical form by a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell is an elegant and simple solution to the increasing energy demands and needs for chemicals and fuels from non-fossil sources. ...
  • Assessing the photoelectrochemical properties of C, N, F codoped TiO2 nanotubes of different lengths 
    Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Xu, Kaiqi; Mei, Sen; Yang, Juan; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Simon, Christian; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)
    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 ...
  • Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers 
    Sun, Xinwei; Xu, Kaiqi; Fleischer, Christian; Liu, Xin; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Strandbakke, Ragnar; Bjørheim, Tor Svendsen; Norby, Truls Eivind; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    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 ...
  • High performance and toxicity assessment of Ta3N5 nanotubes for photoelectrochemical water splitting 
    Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Risbakk, Sanne; Yang, Mingyi; Backe, Paul Hoff; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    In this work, Co-based cocatalysts are electrodeposited on mesoporous Ta3N5 nanotubes. The electrodeposition time is varied and the optimized photoelectrode reaches a photocurrent density of 6.3 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs. SHE, ...
  • Hydrogen from wet air and sunlight in a tandem photoelectrochemical cell 
    Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Vøllestad, Einar; Ruan, Qiushi; Tang, Junwang; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    A solid-state photoelectrochemical (SSPEC) cell is an attractive approach for solar water splitting, especially when it comes to monolithic device design. In a SSPEC cell the electrodes distance is minimized, while the use ...
  • In situ cofactor regeneration enables selective CO2 reduction in a stable and efficient enzymatic photoelectrochemical cell 
    Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Backe, Paul Hoff; Ruan, Qiushi; Junwang, Tang; Rise, Frode; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Mimicking natural photosynthesis by direct photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction of CO2 to chemicals and fuels requires complex cell assemblies with limitations in selectivity, efficiency, cost, and stability. Here, we ...
  • Photocatalytic generation of gas phase reactive oxygen species from adsorbed water: Remote action and electrochemical detection 
    Sun, Xinwei; Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    The improvement of indoor environments is of great importance as it can significantly improve human health, comfort and productivity. Herein, different forms of TiO2 nanorods were used as the photocatalyst for generation ...
  • Solid-state photoelectrochemical cell with TiO2 nanotubes for water splitting 
    Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Norby, Truls (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)
    We have fabricated and tested a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell where the aqueous electrolyte has been replaced by a proton conducting hydrated Nafion® polymer membrane. The membrane was sandwiched between a TiO2-based ...
  • Ta3N5/Co(OH)x composites as photocatalysts for photoelectrochemical water splitting 
    Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Norby, Truls Eivind (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2019)
    Ta3N5 nanotubes (NTs) were obtained from nitridation of Ta2O5 NTs, which were grown directly on Ta foil through a 2-step anodization procedure. With Co(OH)x decoration, a photocurrent density as high as 2.3 mA cm−2 (1.23 ...
