TL;DR: This Minireview outlines some advantages of the molecular precursor approach in light of selected recent developments of molecule-to-nanomaterials synthesis for renewable energy applications, relevant for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution Reaction (HER), and overall water-splitting.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the recent advances and progress of intermetallics for the reaction of electrochemical water-splitting and describe the challenges and future opportunities to develop novel high-performance and stable intermetallic compounds that can hold the key to more green and sustainable economy and rise beyond the horizon of watersplitting application.

TL;DR: The abundance and intrinsic stabilization of MnIII/MnIV active sites in the three MnOx phases explains the superior efficiency and durability of the system for electrocatalytic water oxidation.

TL;DR: Multi-shelled hollow spheres of cobalt manganese oxides deposited on Ni foam exhibited superior alkaline electrochemical water oxidation activity and surpassed those of bulk CMO and commercial noble metal-based catalysts.

TL;DR: The synthesis of efficient artificial water oxidation catalysts is reported by transferring the inactive manganese monooxide (MnO) under highly oxidizing conditions with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and ozone (O3).
