Photosynthetic water oxidation by Photosystem II (PSII) is a fascinating process because it
sustains life on Earth and serves as a blue print for scalable synthetic catalysts required for …

Background With limited agricultural land and increasing human population, it is essential to
enhance overall photosynthesis and thus productivity. Oxygenic photosynthesis begins with …

Single‐atom active‐site catalysts have attracted significant attention in the field of
photocatalytic CO2 conversion. However, designing active sites for CO2 reduction and H2O …

Abstract The discovery of Mn-Ca complex in photosystem II stimulates research of
manganese-based catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, conventional …

In recent years, a large amount of focus has been given to the development of alternative
energy sources that are clean and efficient; among these, electrochemical energy holds …

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 …

Photosynthesis converts light energy into biologically useful chemical energy vital to life on
Earth. The initial reaction of photosynthesis takes place in photosystem II (PSII), a 700 …

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 …

Photosynthesis is the natural process that converts solar photons into energy-rich products
that are needed to drive the biochemistry of life. Two ultrafast processes form the basis of …
