Electrowetting limits electrochemical CO2 reduction in carbon-free gas diffusion electrodes
Electrowetting leads to flooding of silver-based, carbon-free gas diffusion electrodes for CO2 electrolysis.
Paper
The rotating disc electrode: measurement protocols and reproducibility in the evaluation of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction
Elaborated and uniform experimental protocols are a prerequisite for OER catalyst evaluation via RDE. Still, individual sample preparation and variations in microenvironment can lead to a significant spread of results between different laboratories.

A study of bandgap-graded CZTGSe kesterite thin films for solar cell applications
The sustainable and harmless Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 kesterite materials for thin-film photovoltaics are still lacking efficiency, which may be solved by bandgap grading, herein obtained by two-step annealing in H2Se gas of metallic precursors.
Paper
Reversible alkaline hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions using Ni–Mo catalysts supported on carbon
Carbon-supported Ni–Mo composites catalyze alkaline hydrogen evolution and oxidation with negligible onset overpotential. Electrolyzers using Ni–Mo cathodes perform comparably to Pt–Ru cathodes, but oxidative instability limits fuel cell operation.
