2. 1. (Photo)electrochemical Water Oxidation: From Catalysis to Functional Device

   Author : Hao Yang; Licheng Sun; Marc Koper; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial photosynthesis; solar fuels; water oxidation; nucleophilic attack; conjugated microporous polymer; host-guest chemistry; photoanode; perovskites; artificiell fotosyntes; solbränslen; vattenoxidation; nukleofil attack; konjugerad mikroporös polymer; värd-gästkemi; fotoanoder; perovskiter; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The key challenge within artificial photosynthesis is achieving efficient electro- or photo-driven water oxidation catalysis, a necessary process to supply the protons for the reduction reactions, thereby enabling solar fuel production. To facilitate efficient water (photo)electrolysis for solar fuel production, this thesis focuses on two aspects: 1) elucidating the O-O bond formation mechanism and developing efficient, stable, and economical water oxidation catalysts (WOCs); 2) exploring stable, low-cost, light-absorbing photoanode materials that have suitable band structures and excellent charge diffusion properties.
