From manganese complexes to nano-sized manganese oxides as water-oxidizing catalysts for artificial photosynthetic systems: Insights from the Zanjan team

摘要

On the occasion of the international year of light and light-based technologies, I provide a short overview of our recent findings and personal view on the Mn-based water-oxidizing catalysts and the related sophisticated strategies toward water oxidation, which are promising in the artificial photosynthetic systems.
