Solar‐Driven Water Splitting in Photovoltaic Electrolysis Systems Using Copper Terpyridine Complexes as Oxygen Evolution Catalysts

Abstract

Oxygen Evolution Catalysts Copper complexes, as a kind of molecular catalysts bio-inspired from the copper O2-activating enzymes, are attractive targets for water oxidation, which could undergo facile and reversible O-O bond formation and cleavage under mild conditions. In article number 2201018, Jing-Xin Jian, Qing-Xiao Tong, and co-workers investigate three copper(II) complexes as oxygen evolution catalysts in photovoltaic-electrolysis system for solar-driven water splitting without external bias.
