Journal ArticleDOI
Development of bioinspired Mn4O4-Cubane water oxidation catalysts: Lessons from photosynthesis
G. Charles Dismukes,Robin Brimblecombe,Robin Brimblecombe,Greg A. N. Felton,Ruslan S. Pryadun,John E. Sheats,Leone Spiccia,Gerhard F. Swiegers +7 more
TL;DR: The chemical principles that may govern the PSII-WOC are examined by comparing the water oxidation capabilities of structurally related synthetic manganese-oxo complexes, particularly those with a cubical Mn( 4)O(4) core ("cubanes").
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-oxidation catalysis by manganese in a geochemical-like cycle
Rosalie K. Hocking,Robin Brimblecombe,Lan Yun Chang,Archana Singh,Mun Hon Cheah,Christopher Glover,William H. Casey,Leone Spiccia +7 more
TL;DR: In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies demonstrate that this manganese cluster dissociates into Mn(II) compounds in the Nafion, which are then reoxidized to form dispersed nanoparticles of a disordered Mn(III/IV)-oxide phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar Driven Water Oxidation by a Bioinspired Manganese Molecular Catalyst
TL;DR: A photoelectrochemical cell was designed that catalyzes the photooxidation of water using visible light as the sole energy source and a molecular catalyst synthesized from earth-abundant elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained water oxidation photocatalysis by a bioinspired manganese cluster.
TL;DR: This finding suggests the possibility of creating a catalytic cycle that could oxidize two water molecules bound to 2 along the reverse pathway in Scheme 1 (1-3H!1-2H! 1- H!1), eventually forming 3 by photochemical release of O2 and a phosphinate ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular water-oxidation catalysts for photoelectrochemical cells
TL;DR: This Perspective article focuses on significant efforts to develop solid state materials and molecular coordination complexes as catalyst for water oxidation and examines the activity of molecular catalysts in water oxidation following their attachment to conducting electrodes.
