Abstract

Herein, we choose a commercial Cu complex [Cu(EDTA)(H2O)] (EDTA = ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) as a molecular catalyst for water oxidation to avoid complex synthesis and lower catalyst cost. [Cu(EDTA)(H2O)] could catalyze the water oxidation reaction efficiently under neutral conditions with an overpotential of 684 mV, a kcat of 8.03 s-1 and good stability in the long-term electrolysis. Our finding is of great significance for the development of stable, rapid, and easily accessible catalysts for water oxidation.
