Abstract

Water oxidation is the bottleneck in artificial photosynthetic systems that aim to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. However, water oxidation occurs readily in plants, catalyzed by the Mn 4 O 4 Ca manganese cluster. In addition to this, manganese minerals are ubiquitous in nature displaying laye...
