The study demonstrates that ZnO nanorods grown on electrochemically activated carbon cloth (ZnO NRs/ECAT@CC) exhibit enhanced OER performance and stability in alkaline conditions, offering a promising alternative to precious-metal-based catalysts for sustainable hydrogen production.
T06-A07 University of Alberta Publication 2025-03-18 T06-A07 Exploring the Ultra-Low Loading of IrOx on TiO2 Nanotube Arrays Using a Facile Electrochemical Method Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers are key technologies in aiding the transition towards sustainable future energy systems. Despite their compatibility with other renewable energy sources, including wind and solar energy, the scarcity and the resultant high cost of the state-of-the-art water splitting catalysts such as iridium oxide, and the bottlenecked kinetic performance of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limits the widespread use of PEM water electrolyzers. In this work, we present a simple methodology to boost the utilization of iridium oxide catalysts by decreasing the loading of iridium on TiO2 nanotube arrays. Self-assembled titania nanotubes with easily controllable morphology can be conveniently grown via room-temperature anodization, through which we intrinsically embed IrOx into the tube walls.[1] As TiO2 is an n-type semiconductor exhibiting current blockages in anodic electrochemical profiles, defect engineering techniques are used to introduce point defects such as Ti3+ and oxygen vacancies (VO) to enhance the conductive and electrocatalytic properties of the resultant IrOx@TiO2 catalyst.[2] The resultant binder-free electrodes were characterized using methods including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, HAADF-STEM, and electrochemical voltammetry tests. Results of this study give a novel perspective on designing low-loading OER catalysts using a simple one-pot strategy.

In this project, 2 types of vegetable oils will be studied, specifically type 1 crude super-degummed canola oil and crude-degummed grade soybean oil. The corrosion potential of 3 types of steels with varying chromium contents, specifically CS A36, P91, and SS304.
The thermal stability of the oil and the corrosion potential of the steels will be studied by immersing each type of steel in both types of vegetable oil at multiple temperatures.T01-A01 University of Alberta Activity 2025-06-21 T01-A01
