The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are core steps of
various energy conversion and storage systems. However, their sluggish reaction kinetics …

Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP).
However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years …

Water oxidation is the primary reaction of both natural and artificial photosynthesis.
Developing active and robust water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is the key to constructing …

The four-electron oxidation of water (2H2O→ O2+ 4H++ 4e−) is considered the main
bottleneck in artificial photosynthesis. In nature, this reaction is catalysed by a Mn4CaO5 …

There is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to solar fuels—not only to lower CO2
emissions that cause global warming but also to ration fossil resources. Splitting H2O with …

Solar-powered water splitting is a dream reaction for constructing an artificial photosynthetic
system for producing solar fuels. Natural photosystem II is a prototype template for research …

We reported herein the development of heterobimetallic NiFe molecular platform to
understand NiFe synergistic effect in water oxidation catalysis. Compared to homonuclear …

We introduce a new family of complexes with the general formula [Ru n (tda)(py) 2] m+(n= 2,
m= 0, 1; n= 3, m= 1, 2+; n= 4, m= 2, 3 2+), with tda2–being [2, 2′: 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine]-6, 6 …

Energy has been a central subject for human development from Homo erectus to date. The
massive use of fossil fuels during the last 50 years has generated a large CO2 concentration …

Water oxidation is one of the most important reactions in natural and artificial energy
conversion schemes. In nature, solar energy is converted to chemical energy via water …
