Publication Open Access Modulating photocatalytic activity of nitrogen doped TiO2 nanoparticles via magnetic field(Elsevier, 2024-07-30) Gómez Polo, Cristina; Cervera Gabalda, Laura María; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Beato López, Juan Jesús; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThe effect of the magnetic field on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2-based nanoparticles is analyzed using a magnetically-assisted photoreactor with permanent magnets to generate a controlled uniform magnetic field, B (¿82 mT). Nitrogen doped TiO2 nanoparticles (sizes around 10 nm) were synthesized through a solvothermal method employing Ti(IV) butoxide and HNO3 (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mL) as precursors and their structural, optical and magnetic properties were analyzed. Specifically, nitrogen doping is confirmed through Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) in those samples synthesized with low HNO3 concentrations (x = 0.5, 1). The correlation between spin polarization (magnetic susceptibility) and visible photocatalytic activity (methyl orange as a model organic pollutant) is particularly analyzed. Surprisingly, opposite effects of the magnetic field on the photocatalytic performance are found in the visible range (above 400 nm) or under UV-Vis irradiation (decrease and increase in the photocatalytic activity, respectively, under magnetic field). The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model allows us to conclude that the strong decrease in adsorption under the magnetic field (around 42 % for x = 0.5) masks the increase in the kinetic constant (close to 58 % for x = 0.5) related mainly to the effect of Lorentz forces on the reduction of the electron-hole recombination.Publication Embargo Boosting Li-S batteries through the synergistic effect of recycled ferrites and external magnetic induction(Elsevier, 2024-11-20) Bonilla, Álvaro; Jiménez Blasco, Uxua; Gómez-Cámer, Juan Luis; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Caballero, Álvaro; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, PC003-04 3D-MAGNETDespite being considered one of the most promising energy storage technologies, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are limited in terms of commercialization by the shuttle effect and slow reaction kinetics. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that the use of recycled ferrite in conjunction with an external magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet can enhance the reaction kinetics and the adsorption of polysulfides (LiPSs), and hence the electrochemical stability. An in-depth kinetic study shows that under the effect of an external magnetic field, the electrode has lower polarization, a higher Li+ diffusion coefficient and a lower activation energy between electrochemical stages. The electrode also has a capacity retention up to 40 % higher and half the capacity loss per cycle at a high rate of 1C. At an ultra-high rate of 10C, the electrode has a capacity of 507 mAh g−1 after 150 cycles and an areal capacity of up to 3 mAh cm−2 at an ultra-high loading of 13 mg cm−2. In addition to the promising results observed in electrochemical terms, our approach is also more sustainable due to the use of a recycled electronic material obtained via dry milling, thereby avoiding the use of fossil carbons.
