TL;DR: In this article, a facile two-step method to synthesize porous CoP/NC nanopolyhedrons composed of CoP and Co2P nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon matrices for overall water splitting is reported.

TL;DR: In situ XAS measurements on a bifunctional manganese oxide catalyst with high electrochemical activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) demonstrate that the OER activity scales with film thickness, which suggests that the films have porous structure, which does not restrict electrocatalysis to the top geometric layer of the film.

TL;DR: This simultaneous XRD-XES study shows that the PS II crystals are intact during measurements at the LCLS, not only with respect to the structure of PS II, but also with regard to the electronic structure of the highly radiation-sensitive Mn4CaO5 cluster, opening new directions for future dynamics studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive approach to understand the electronic structure of monoclinic scheelite bismuth vanadate (ms-BiVO4), including both valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) orbital character, is presented.

TL;DR: Crystallography and spectroscopy are used to solve high-resolution structures of the intermediates of Kok’s S-state clock in photosystem II, revealing notable structural changes including the binding of one additional ‘water’, Ox, during the S2→S3 state transition.
