  1. 11. Mimicking Nature – Synthesis and Characterisation of Manganese Complexes of Relevance to Artificial Photosynthesis

    Författare :Gustav Berggren; F. Magnus Anderlund; Leif Hammarström; Vincent Pecoraro; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Manganese; biomimetic; artificial photosynthesis; water splitting; homogeneous catalysis; Chemistry; Kemi; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The development of efficient catalyst for water oxidation is of paramount importance to artificial photosynthesis, but before this can be achieved a deeper understanding of this reaction is essential. In nature this reaction occurs in a tetranuclear Mn-cluster which serves as the work-horse of oxygenic photosynthesis. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Towards Artificial Photosynthesis: Exploration of Efficient First-Row Transition Metal-Based Water Oxidation Catalysts

    Författare :Lizhou Fan; Licheng Sun; Thomas Wågberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Artificial photosynthesis; Water oxidation; Heterogeneous catalyst; Electrochemistry; Electronic structure; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Artificial photosynthesis provides a promising strategy for sustainable energy harvesting, yet its overall efficiency is limited by the water oxidation reaction. The subject of this thesis focuses on the exploration of highly efficient cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for water oxidation, and the investigation of essential catalyst structure-activity relationships.
