Study of Prussian Blue Analogues as solid redox mediator for decouple water splitting

The thesis project involves the synthesis and chracterization of inorganic materials and their application as redox mediators in decoupled water electrolysis. In particular, Prussian Blue analogues will be prepared by substituting Fe (II) cations with other metals such as Cu (II) or Ni(II). These materials will be characterized using physicochemical tecniques including XPS, SEM and XRD. Their electochemical performance will be evaluated using tecniques such as cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discahrge measurments.
