Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally
benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic …

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 …

The development of technologies for the production of chemical fuels or useful compounds
with renewable energy (eg, sunlight) and inexpensive feedstocks relies on an abundant …

Whereas noble metal compounds have long been central in catalysis, Earth-abundant metal-
based catalysts have in the same time remained undeveloped. Yet the efficacy of Earth …

The sustainable production of clean energy constitutes one of the most important scientific
challenges of the 21st century. Currently, the major part of the global energy supply is …

Developing anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high catalytic
activities is of great importance for effective water splitting. Compared with the water …

All cyanobacteria, algae, and plants use a similar water-oxidizing catalyst for water
oxidation. This catalyst is housed in Photosystem II, a membrane-protein complex that …

Fe cations dramatically enhance oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity when
incorporated substitutionally into Ni or Co (oxy) hydroxides, serving as possible OER active …

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 …

The development of an earth‐abundant, first‐row water oxidation catalyst that operates at
neutral pH and low overpotential remains a fundamental chemical challenge. Herein, we …
