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 …

Oxygen, which supports all aerobic life, is produced by photosynthetic water oxidation in
plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The water-oxidation reaction probably first appeared in …

Advances in electrocatalysis research rely heavily on building a thorough mechanistic
understanding of catalyst active sites under realistic operating conditions. Only recently have …

To enhance the performance of semiconductor photocatalysts, cocatalysts are used to
accelerate surface reactions. Herein, ultrasmall molybdenum–oxygen (MoOx) clusters are …

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 …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

Oxygenic photosynthesis forms the basis of aerobic life on earth by converting light energy
into biologically useful chemical energy and by splitting water to generate molecular oxygen …

The investigation of water oxidation in photosynthesis has remained a central topic in
biochemical research for the last few decades due to the importance of this catalytic process …

We review the tremendous advances in ultrafast X-ray science, over the past 15 years,
making the best use of new ultrashort X-ray sources including table-top or large-scale …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …
