Aqueous synthesis of Z-scheme photocatalyst powders and thin-film photoanodes from earth abundant elements
Šutka, Andris; Vanags, Martins; Joost, Urmas; Smits, Krisjanis; Ruža, Jurģis; Locs, Janis; Kleperis, Janis; Juhna, Talis (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)Solid-state narrow band gap semiconductor heterostructures with a Z-scheme charge-transfer mechanism are the most promising photocatalytic systems for water splitting and environmental remediation under visible light. ... -
Membrane-less amphoteric decoupled water electrolysis using WO3 and Ni(OH)2 auxiliary electrodes
Vanags, Martins; Kulikovskis, Guntis; Kostjukovs, Juris; Jekabsons, Laimonis; Sarakovskis, Anatolijs; Smits, Krisjanis; Bikse, Liga; Sutka, Andris (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)Energy storage and delivery play a crucial role in the effective management of renewable power sources such as solar and wind. Hydrogen energy is proposed to be one of the major substitutes to fill the gap between the ... -
Nanomechanical and Electrochemical Corrosion Testing of Nanocomposite Coating Obtained on AZ31 via Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Containing TiN and SiC Nanoparticles
Singh, Ashish Kumar; Drunka, Reinis; Smits, Krisjanis; Vanags, Martins; Iesalnieks, Mairis; Joksa, Aiga Anna; Blumbergs, Ilmars; Steins, Ints (MDPI, 2023)Lightweight magnesium alloys offer excellent benefits over Al alloys due to their high specific strength and damping properties, but they are more prone to galvanic corrosion. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings ...
