2. Time-resolved Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Water Oxidation in Photosystem II : water here, water there, water everywhere
Abstract : Oxygenic photosynthesis is undisputedly one of the most important chemical processes for human life on earth as it not only fills the atmosphere with the oxygen that we need to breathe, but also sustains the accumulation of biomass, which is not only used as nourishment but is also present in almost every aspect of our lives as building material, textiles in clothes and furniture, or even as living decorations to name a few.The photosynthetic water-splitting mechanism is catalyzed by a water:plastoquinone oxido-reductase by the name of photosystem II (PSII), which is embedded in the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria.

3. Photosynthetic water oxidation : the function of two extrinsic proteins
Abstract : The solar energy accumulated by photosynthesis over billions of years is the sole source of energy available on Earth. Photosystem II (PSII) uses the sunlight to split water, an energetically unfavorable reaction where electrons and protons are extracted from water and oxygen is released as a by-product. READ MORE

4. Biomimetic Reactions : Water Oxidation and Aerobic Oxidation
Abstract : This thesis deals mainly with two oxidation reactions: water oxidation and aerobic oxidation, both of which have been applied in a biomimetic fashion. In the former reaction molecular oxygen is generated whereas in the latter it was used as terminal oxidant in oxidation reactions. READ MORE

5. Innovative treatment technologies for PFAS-contaminated water - Utilizing foam partitioning and exploring electrochemical oxidation
Abstract : The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the aquatic environment has become a global cause for concern. PFAS are persistent anthropogenic chemicals, and certain PFAS are known to be mobile, bioaccumulative and toxic. READ MORE
