Recent Progress on Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Based on Molecular Water Oxidation Catalysts

Abstract

Abstract: Solar water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen has been considered as a promising method for production of solar fuel. A key challenge in overall water splitting is the catalytic water oxidation. And the emergence of molecular water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) has provided an opportunity to mimic the function of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem Ⅱ in nature and an alternative way for artificial photosynthesis. Despite progress made on molecular approaches to solar energy conversion, construction of molecularly-based artificial photosynthetic devices that enable simultaneous oxygen and hydrogen evolution remains a significant challenge. This paper reviews recent progress in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical water splitting based on molecular WOCs. Strategies and principles for hybrid anodes and photoanodes design were summarized. And these results show great promise for improving the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis by taking advantage of molecular engineering.

Key words: artificial photosynthesis, water splitting, molecular water oxidation catalyst, nelectrocatalysis, photoanode, dye-sensitized
