Abstract:

The development of cost-effective materials for effective utilization of solar energy is a major challenge for solving the energy problems that face the world. This thesis work relates to the development of mesoporous materials for solar energy applications in the areas of photocatalytic water splitting and the generation of electricity. Mesoporous materials were employed throughout the studies because of their favorable physico-chemical properties such as high surface areas and large porosities. The first project was related to the use of a cubic periodic mesoporous material, MCM-48. The studies showed that chromium loading directly affected the phase of mesoporous silica formed. Furthermore, within the cubic MCM-48 structure, the loading of polychromate species determined the concentration of solar hydrogen produced. In an effort to determine the potential of mesoporous materials, titanium dioxide was prepared using the Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly (EISA) synthetic method. The aging period directly determined the amount of various phases of titanium dioxide. This method was extended for the preparation of cobalt doped titanium dioxide for solar simulated hydrogen evolution. In another study, metal doped systems were synthesized using the EISA procedure and rhodamine B (RhB) dye sensitized and metal doped titania mesoporous materials were evaluated for visible light hydrogen evolution. The final study employed various mesoporous titanium dioxide materials for N719 dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) materials for photovoltaic applications. The materials were extensively characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, chemisorption, photoluminescence (PL), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, photoelectrochemical measurements were completed using current-voltage (I-V) curves, external quantum efficiency (EQE) curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transient spectroscopy. The thesis work presented provides a better understanding of the role of mesoporous materials for solar hydrogen and solar electricity production.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is exploring the parameters affecting photobiological hydrogen production and developing anaerobic photobioreactor for efficient photofermentative hydrogen production from organic acids in outdoor conditions. Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides strains were used as microorganisms. EU project &ldquo
Hyvolution&rdquo
targets to combine thermophilic fermentation with photofermentation for the conversion of biomass to hydrogen. In this study, the effluent obtained by dark fermentation of Miscanthus hydrolysate by T. neapolitana was fed to photobioreactor for photofermentation by R. capsulatus. Hydrogen yield was 1.4 L/Lculture showing that the integration of dark and photofermentation is possible. Innovative elements were introduced to the photobioreactor design such as removal of argon flushing. An online gas monitoring system was developed which became a commercial product. It was found that the light intensity should be at least 270 W/m2 on the bioreactor surface for the highest hydrogen productivity and the hydrogen production decreased by 43 % if infrared light was not provided to the bioreactor. Scale-up of photofermentation process to 25L was achieved yielding 27L hydrogen in 11 days by R. capsulatus on acetate/lactate/glutamate (40/7.5/2 mM) medium. The outdoor application of the system was made. Shading and water spraying were adapted as cooling methods for controlling the temperature of the outdoor bioreactor. It was found that uptake hydrogenase deleted mutant of R. capsulatus show better hydrogen productivity (0.52 mg/L.h) compared to the wild type parent (0.27 mg/L.h) in outdoor conditions. It was also shown that the hydrogen production depended on the sunlight intensity received.

Abstract:
L’utilisation des énergies renouvelables, qui sont intermittentes, à l’égal des énergies fossiles (échelle du TW) doit passer par leur conversion et stockage en un vecteur transportable. L’hydrogène semble le vecteur énergétique idéal qui peut être produit à partir de l’eau et de l’énergie solaire. Ce carburant peut ainsi être stocké, transporté puis utilisé à la demande en le combinant avec l’oxygène dans une pile à combustible. Les cellules photo-électrochimiques (PEC) utilisées pour la conversion ne sont actuellement pas rentables car les matériaux majoritairement utilisés pour leur fabrication, tels que le platine et les semiconducteurs cristallins, sont rares ou chers. Le point clé est de trouver des matériaux qui soient disponibles en grande quantité et facilement mis en forme. Ce travail de thèse concerne le développement d’une photocathode sans matériau rare pour la photoproduction de H2 via la réduction des protons à partir de l’énergie solaire et de l’eau. Pour cela, une cellule solaire à hétérojonction polymère-fullerène (P3HT:PCBM) a été couplée directement à un catalyseur sans métal précieux, MoS3. La cellule solaire absorbe les photons, et les électrons photogénérés sont ensuite acheminés jusqu’au catalyseur qui les utilise pour produire l’hydrogène. Après avoir étudié chacun des matériaux (cellule solaire et catalyseur) séparément et vérifié le bon alignement des niveaux énergétiques, les premiers assemblages ont été faits par des procédés en solution. Les méthodes de dépôt ont dû être adaptées en fonction de la nature des matériaux. Ainsi, le spin-coating et le spray ont été utilisés respectivement pour déposer la partie photovoltaïque et le catalyseur. Les caractérisations photo-électrochimiques mises en place ont permis de mettre en évidence la présence d’un photo-courant (100 µA cm–2) correspondant à la production d’hydrogène, qui a été analysé par chromatographie en phase gazeuse. Ces résultats ont permis de montrer la viabilité des photocathodes hybrides sans matériau noble. Afin d’augmenter les performances des photocathodes, de nouvelles configurations ont été conçues. Dans un premier temps des matériaux d’interface entre la couche mince photovoltaïque et le catalyseur ont été étudié (couche extractrice d’électrons, CEE) pour améliorer la collection des électrons photogénérés par le catalyseur. Parmi les métaux étudiés, l’aluminium protégé par le titane a permis d’atteindre des photocourants de 10 mA cm–2. Cependant la présence de l’aluminium induisait une instabilité en milieu aqueux, aussi des oxydes (TiOx) et des matériaux organiques (fullerène C60 et graphène) ont été envisagés. Le TiOx n’a permis qu’une légère amélioration par rapport aux photocathodes sans CEE, tandis que le C60 a permis d’atteindre 5 mA cm–2 mais avec une stabilité moindre par rapport aux CEE métalliques. L’origine de l’amélioration des performances a été attribuée à l’isolement de la jonction photovoltaïque par rapport à l’électrolyte. Dans une deuxième approche, la couche extractrice de trous (CET) située entre l’électrode transparente et le P3HT:PCBM a été remplacée par des oxydes amorphes (oxyde de graphène (GO), MoOx, NiOx). Ce changement a permis la réalisation de photocathodes performantes et stables pendant plusieurs heures, avec des températures de dépôt ne dépassant pas 150 °C dans le cas du MoOx et du GO. L’augmentation des performances semblant aller de pair avec l’augmentation du travail de sortie de la CET, il a été suggéré que la différence des niveaux de Fermi de la CET et de l’électrolyte avait un impact sur la capacité de la photocathode à séparer les charges et les utiliser pour la photocatalyse. Les photocathodes avec MoOx (matériau testé avec le plus grand travail de sortie) ont les meilleurs rendements (plusieurs mA cm–2 et un photovoltage de 0. 6 V), et présentent une plus grande stabilité par rapport aux photocathodes ayant une CTE métallique
One of the challenges of the 21st century is to produce clean and inexpensive energy at the TW scale to face the increasing energy demand and the global climate change. Because renewable energies are intermittent, they must be converted and stored in order to use them at the same scale of fossil energies. Hydrogen appears to be an ideal energy carrier when it is produced from water and sunlight. This fuel can be stored, transported and use on-demand by its combination with oxygen, for example in a fuel cell. Photo-electrochemical (PEC) cells able to carry out the photo-electrolysis of water are not yet cost-effective, because most of the materials used for their fabrication are rare or expensive (platinum, crystalline semiconductors). Producing hydrogen in a PEC cell at industrial scale depends on the finding of readily-available and easily-processed materials. In this thesis, the development of a noble-metal free hydrogen-evolving photocathode was undertaken, to reduce protons from light and acidic water. The photo-converting unit was based organic semiconductors organized in a polymer-fullerene bulk-heterojunction layer (P3HT:PCBM) coupled to amorphous molybdenum sulfide (MoS3) as a catalyst. In the device, the P3HT:PCBM layer absorbs the photons and the photogenerated electrons are then transported to the interface with the catalyst, which uses the electrons to produce hydrogen. After studying each material (catalyst and solar cell) separately and checking the alignment of their energy levels, the first assemblies were made by solution processes. The deposition methods were adapted depending on the nature of the materials. Spin-coating and spray were used for the deposition of the light-harvesting unit and the catalyst, respectively. With the photo-electrochemical characterization setup, a photocurrent of up to 100 µA cm–2 was obtained, corresponding to production of hydrogen, as analyzed by gas chromatography. These first results proved the viability of the concept of this hybrid noble-metal free photocathode. In order to improve the photocathode performance, new configurations were designed. Firstly, interfacial materials placed between P3HT:PCBM and MoS3 (electron-extracting layer, EEL) were studied to improve charge collection by the catalyst. Among studied materials, photocathodes with titanium-protected aluminum reached up to 10 mA cm–2 of photocurrent. The presence of aluminum induced instability in aqueous media, so that oxides (TiOx) and organic materials (C60 fullerene and graphene) were considered. TiOx brought only a slight improvement compared to photocathodes without EELs, while C60 allowed to reach 5 mA cm–2 but with a lower stability compared to metallic EELs. The origin of the increased performances with EELs was attributed to the burying of the photovoltaic junction, removing the influence of the electrolyte. Secondly, the material between the transparent electrode and the photovoltaic part, i. E. The hole-extracting layer (HEL), was replaced by amorphous oxides (graphene oxide (GO), MoOx, NiOx). It led to the fabrication of performant photocathodes, stables for several hours, by process temperatures below 150 °C in the case of MoOx and GO. The increase of the performance seemed to be related to the increase of the HEL work function, leading to the suggestion that the Fermi level difference between the HEL and the electrolyte has an impact on the capacity of the photocathode to separate the charges and use them for photocatalysis. The most performant photocathodes (several mA cm–2 and 0. 6 V of photovoltage) were the one with MoOx, i. E. The material with the largest work function, and had a much better stability than the photocathodes with metallic EELs

Abstract:
III-nitride materials are crucially becoming the most important and promising class of semiconductors for future optoelectronic devices including solid state lighting and solar energy applications. Presently, there are still many challenges in regards to the wide scale uptake of these devices, including low efficiencies and short lifetimes. Despite the ideal properties of InGaN for water splitting, there are still very few reports utilising these semiconductors. This thesis investigates GaN and InGaN based structures for water splitting. Initially focussing on the fabrication of nanorods via the use of a self-organised nickel mask, where diameter and height of the structures have been optimised. As a result, the surface area of the device increases dramatically leading to an enhancement in photocurrent compared to as-grown planar devices. Alongside this, the fabricated nanostructures allow for an enhancement in electron-hole separation and an increase in the hydrogen generation rate. The lifetime of the fabricated devices is also discussed. Prolonged exposure of the nanostructured devices results in the degradation and etching of the InGaN material. The addition of a secondary semiconductor material, NiO, acts as a reaction site for photogenerated holes preventing the oxidation and dissolution of InGaN devices in the experimental electrolytes, increasing the device lifetime. Furthermore, a photoelectrochemical etch technique is implemented to create a porous device structure. The nanoporous network in the structure shortens the required diffusion length of the photogenerated carriers to values close to that of InGaN. An enhancement in photocurrent and hydrogen production has been observed due to the nanoporous structure.

Abstract:
Photocatalysts, typically nanoparticulate semiconductors, can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. If solar light is used for this, it opens the possibility of a renewable source of hydrogen. However, extension of photocatalytic response into the visible region of the solar spectrum is required. A new visible light activated photocatalyst is reported herein. Iron vanadate, FeVO4, was first synthesised using a low-temperature, aqueous precipitation reaction. The material prepared was found to be predominantly amorphous and required thermal treatment. The resultant material was characterised using XRD, SEM, IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Materials annealed above 600 °C were found to consist mainly of FeVO4, although traces of hematite were found. Diffuse-reflectance UV spectroscopy and subsequent Tauc plots revealed a band gap of ca. 2.00 eV corresponding to an indirect transition. Photocurrent-voltage characteristics recorded under simulated solar illumination indicate that photocurrents are sensitive to annealing temperature and the thickness of the deposit. However, although photocurrent-voltage plots show that electrodes prepared from a suspension of nanoparticulate FeVO4 powders were photo-responsive, these electrodes were found to be mechanically unstable. Films were prepared directly onto the electrode by using a sol-gel approach. Raman spectroscopy, XRD and diffuse-reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy has revealed the electrode films to be crystalline in nature, significantly more stable, with an indirect band gap in the visible region of 2.00 eV. Higher photocurrent densities were observed for the sol-gel prepared electrodes compared to those deposited from aqueous suspensions of pre-formed powders. It was determined that these photocurrents were dependant on film thickness, annealing time and temperature, and sol pH.

Abstract:
In this thesis, solar-hydrogen Stand-Alone Power System (SAPS) which is planned to be built for the emergency room of a hospital is designed. The system provides continuous, off-grid electricity during the whole period of a year without any external electrical power supply. The system consists of Photovoltaic (PV) panels, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) based electrolyzers, PEM based fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, batteries, a control mechanism and auxiliary equipments such as DC/AC converters, water pump, pipes and hydrogen dryers. The aim of this work is to investigate the optimal system configuration and component sizing which yield to high performance and low cost for different user needs and control strategies. TRNSYS commercial software is used for the overall system design and simulations. Numerical models of the PV panels, the control mechanism and the PEM electrolyzers are developed by using theoretical and experimental data and the models are integrated into TRNSYS. Overall system models include user-defined components as well as the default software components. The electricity need of the emergency room without any shortage is supplied directly from the PV panels or by the help of the batteries and the fuel cells when the solar energy is not enough. The pressure level in the hydrogen tanks and the overall system efficiency are selected as the key design parameters. The major component parameters and various control strategies affecting the hydrogen tank pressure and the system efficiency are analyzed and the results are presented.

Abstract:
As solar hydrogen is a sustainable and environmental friendly energy carrier, it is considered to take the place of fossil fuels in the near future. Solar hydrogen can be generated by splitting of water under solar light illumination. In this study, the use of nanostructured hematite thin-film electrodes in photocatalytic water splitting was investigated. Hematite (á-Fe2O3) has a narrow band-gap of 2.2 eV, which is able to utilise approximately 40% of solar radiation. However, poor photoelectrochemical performance is observed for hematite due to low electrical conductivity and a high rate of electron-hole recombination. An extensive review of useful measures taken to overcoming the disadvantages of hematite so as to enhance its performance was presented including thin-film structure, nanostructuring, doping, etc. Since semiconductoring materials which exhibit an inverse opal structure are expected to have a high surface-volume ratio, unique optical characteristics and a shorter distance for photogenerated holes to travel to the electrode/electrolyte interface, inverse opals of hematite thin films deposited on FTO glass substrate were successfully prepared by doctor blading using PMMA as a template. However, due to the poor adhesion of the films, an acidic medium (i.e., 2 M HCl) was employed to significantly enhance the adhesion of the films, which completely destroyed the inverse opal structure. Therefore, undoped, Ti and Zn-doped hematite thin films deposied on FTO glass substrate without an inverse opal structure were prepared by doctor blading and spray pyrolysis and characterised using SEM, EDX, XRD, TGA, UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical measurements. Regarding the doped hematite thin films prepared by doctor blading, the photoelectrochemical activity of the hematite photoelectrodes was improved by incorporation of Ti, most likely owing to the increased electrical conductivity of the films, the stabilisation of oxygen vacancies by Ti4+ ions and the increased electric field of the space charge layer. A highest photoresponse was recorded in case of 2.5 at.% Ti which seemed to be an optimal concentration. The effect of doping content, thickness, and calcination temperature on the performance of the Ti-doped photoelectrodes was investigated. Also, the photoactivity of the 2.5 at.% Ti-doped samples was examined in two different types of electrochemical cells. Zn doping did not enhance the photoactivity of the hematite thin films though Zn seemed to enhance the hole transport due to the slow hole mobility of hematite which could not be overcome by the enhancement. The poor performance was also obtained for the Ti-doped samples prepared by spray pyrolysis, which appeared to be a result of introduction of impurities from the metallic parts of the spray gun in an acidic medium. Further characterisation of the thin-film electrodes is required to explain the mechanism by which enhanced performance was obtained for Ti-doped electrodes (doctor blading) and poor photoactivity for Zn and Ti-doped samples which were synthesised by doctor blading and spray pyrolysis, respectively. Ti-doped hematite thin films will be synthesised in another way, such as dip coating so as to maintain an inverse opal structure as well as well adhesion. Also, a comparative study of the films will be carried out.

Another area of investigation is the effect of temperature and partial pressure of oxygen in the reduction of the chemical reactor. This will lead to the optimal values of temperature and oxygen partial pressure, hence determining maximal hydrogen production.

Abstract:
The world’s increasing energy demand means the rate at which fossil fuels are consumed has increased resulting in greater carbon dioxide emissions. For many small (marginalised) or coastal communities, access to potable water is limited alongside good availability of renewable energy sources (solar or wind). One solution is to utilise small-scale renewably powered stand-alone energy systems to help supply power for everyday utilities and to operate desalination systems serving potable water (drinking) needs reducing diesel generator dependence. In such systems, on-site water production is essential so as to service electrolysis for hydrogen generation for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Whilst small Reverse Osmosis (RO) units may function as a (useful) dump load, it also directly impacts the power management of stand-alone energy systems and affects operational characteristics. However, renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature, thus power generation from renewables may not be adequate to satisfy load demands. Therefore, energy storage and an effective Power Management Strategy (PMS) are vital to ensure system reliability. This thesis utilises a combination of experiments and modelling to analyse the performance of renewably powered stand-alone energy systems consisting of photovoltaic panels, PEM electrolysers, PEM fuel cells, batteries, metal hydrides and Reverse Osmosis (RO) under various scenarios. Laboratory experiments have been done to resolve time-resolved characteristics for these system components and ascertain their impact on system performance. However, the main objective of the study is to ascertain the differences between applying (simplistic) predictive/optimisation techniques compared to intelligent tools in renewable energy systems. This is achieved through applying intelligent tools such as Neural Networks and Particle Swarm Optimisation for different aspects that govern system design and operation as well as solar irradiance prediction. Results indicate the importance of device level transients, temporal resolution of available solar irradiance and type of external load profile (static or time-varying) as system performance is affected differently. In this regard, minute resolved simulations are utilised to account for all component transients including predicting the key input to the system, namely available solar resource which can be affected by various climatic conditions such as rainfall. System behaviour is (generally) more accurately predicted utilising Neural Network solar irradiance prediction compared to the ASHRAE clear sky model when benchmarked against measured irradiance data. Allowing Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) to further adjust specific control set-points within the systems PMS results in improvements in system operational characteristics compared to using simplistic rule-based design methods. In such systems, increasing energy storage capacities generally allow for more renewable energy penetration yet only affect the operational characteristics up to a threshold capacity. Additionally, simultaneously optimising system size and PMS to satisfy a multi-objective function, consisting of total Net Present Cost and CO2 emissions, yielded lower costs and carbon emissions compared to HOMER, a widely adopted sizing software tool. Further development of this thesis will allow further improvements in the development of renewably powered energy systems providing clean, reliable, cost-effective energy. All simulations are performed on a desktop PC having an Intel i3 processor using either MATLAB/Simulink or HOMER.
