High-valent metal–oxo species with multiply-bonded M–O groups have been proposed as
key intermediates in many biological and abiological catalytic oxidation reactions. These …

The four-electron oxidation of water (2H2O→ O2+ 4H++ 4e−) is considered the main
bottleneck in artificial photosynthesis. In nature, this reaction is catalysed by a Mn4CaO5 …

A Co3O4-activated chlorite (Co3O4/chlorite) process was developed to enable the
simultaneous generation of high-valent cobalt species [Co (IV)] and ClO2 for efficient …

The development of reliable water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is essential for implementing
artificial photosynthesis on a large technological scale. WOC research has evolved into two …

Coherency of nature has always inspired human to develop, produce and innovate by
imitating it. Photosynthesis is amongst the most efficient bio-chemical reaction nature …

Abstract 2D layered materials, including metal‐di‐chalcogenides and transition metal
layered double hydroxides, among others, are intensively studied because of new …

An expert overview of current research, applications, and economic and environmental
advantages The study and development of new homogeneous catalysts based on first-row …

Metal–oxo moieties are important catalytic intermediates in the selective partial oxidation of
hydrocarbons and in water splitting. Stable metal–oxo species have reactive properties that …

Water oxidation catalysis stands out as one of the most important reactions to design
practical devices for artificial photosynthesis. Use of late first-row transition metal (TM) …

The redox noninnocence of the TAML scaffold in cobalt-TAML (tetra-amido macrocyclic
ligand) complexes has been under debate since 2006. In this work, we demonstrate with a …
