we synthesized different doped strontium titanates , nano composite of strontium titanates .but stuck with feasible methods to check the activity in an effective manner.suggest possible routes to forward this problem?
Dear Jithu Joseph
For the basic information and fundamentals regarding (photo)electrochemical water splitting, LSV, CV, overpotentials, Tafel and all, Please refer following book..
https://www.crcpress.com/Photochemical-Water-Splitting-Materials-and-Applications/Chouhan-Liu-Zhang/p/book/9781482237597
Read chapters 2nd) Concepts in Photochemical Water Splitting, 3rd) Water-Splitting Technologies for Hydrogen Generation, and 4th) Electrochemical Water Splitting.
Voltametry and chronoamperometry will give you all the basic information regardng activity, onset, efficiency and stability. and tafel plots will give an idea about the kinetics and mehanism.
LSV gives potential /voltage of reaction at which reaction occurs.Tafel slope gives the no of e transfer and plausable mechanism of reaction,CV plots gives the info about redox reaction if it occuring in ur case and reversibility of reaction, chronoamperometry gives the stability and workability time of ur material.
