Abstract
Energy shortage and environmental pollution limit the sustainable development of human beings. Water, as a clean and renewable resource, provides a solution for sustainable energy conversion from water oxidation catalysis. Lessons should be learned from nature to explore efficient artificial catalysts. In this chapter, we will review recent major progress in natural photosynthesis, from the structure and functions to the mechanisms for the water-oxidizing center of the biological enzyme. Later, the development of molecular and material water oxidation catalysts is discussed, with a focus on the mechanisms and rational catalyst design.
