Chapter Three - Water oxidation by manganese oxides

Add time:09/02/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Sustainable energies are usually intermittent and if solar energy is to become an energy source in future, energy-storage systems are necessary. A reasonable solution to store solar energy is artificial photosynthesis with energy stored in chemical bonds such as molecular hydrogen. Among different strategies, water splitting toward hydrogen and oxygen is very promising. This article provides a short review of the current status of manganese compounds as water-oxidizing catalysts in artificial photosynthesis. Generalization and inductive reasoning have been criticized, but at least many manganese complexes and salts convert to Mn oxide during water oxidation. Thus, we focused on Mn oxides and discuss the sophisticated design strategies for manganese oxides as water-oxidizing catalysts. Since an Mn oxide-cluster acts as the biological site for water oxidation, Mn oxides are counted as structural and functional models for the water-oxidizing cluster in photosystem II.
