Electrophoretic Deposition of Nanoparticles as Electrocataiysts for Electrolysis in the Solar Sulfur Ammonia Hydrogen Production

摘要

Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were deposited using electrophoretic deposition from two different bath chemistries, 90 vol.% water and 10 vol.% isopropanol with hexadecyltrimethlyammonium bromide (CTAB) and 100 % ethanol. The deposits were tested for electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of ammonium sulfite to ammonium sulfate as part of a solar sulfur ammonia thermochemical cycle to produce hydrogen.
