As the world's population increases, the US Department of Energy has estimated that energy
consumption will increase with it, increasing from 5.7× 1020 J in 2012 to 8.1× 1020 J in …

In this review we discuss at the mechanistic level the different steps involved in water
oxidation catalysis with ruthenium-based molecular catalysts. We have chosen to focus on …

The dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) integrates high bandgap,
