2. 1. Time-resolved Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Water Oxidation in Photosystem II : water here, water there, water everywhere

   Author : Casper de Lichtenberg; Johannes Messinger; Wolfgang P. Schröder; Holger Dau; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oxygenic Photosynthesis; Photosystem II; TR-MIMS; isotope exchange; EPR; EDNMR; water splitting; water oxidation;

   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.

6. 4. Potential Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting Devices : A Journey Through the Opportunities and Challenges of Catalyst Classes

   Author : Robin N. Dürr; Leif Hammarström; Bruno Jousselme; Tomas Edvinsson; Haining Tian; Kevin Sivula; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrocatalysis; Electrolyzer cell; HER catalyst; OER catalyst; Water splitting; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : In this thesis work, different classes of catalysts and their suitability for integration into an electrolyzer cell has been investigated.Ruthenium based molecular catalysts have shown high activities and stabilities towards water oxidation in neutral pH. Especially the oligomeric catalysts exhibited a superior performance. READ MORE

7. 5. Water splitting by heterogeneous catalysis

   Author : Henrik Svengren; Mats Johnsson; Tomas Edvinsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Faradaic efficiency; electrocatalysis; electrolysis; water oxidation; hydrogen reduction; H2; O2; mass spectrometry; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : A sustainable solution for meeting the energy demands at our planet is by utilizing wind-, solar-, wave-, thermal-, biomass- and hydroelectric power. These renewable and CO2 emission-free energy sources are highly variable in terms of spatial and temporal availability over the Earth, introducing the need for an appropriate method of storing and carrying energy.
