Switchable wetting of oxygen-evolving oxide catalysts

Vasiliki Tileli, Tzu-Hsien Shen

The surface wettability of catalysts is typically controlled via surface treatments that promote catalytic performance. Here we report on potential-regulated hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity at cobalt-based oxide interfaces with an alkaline solution. The swit ...

Pivotal role of the redox-active tyrosine in driving the water splitting catalyzed by photosystem II

Leonardo Guidoni, Daniele Narzi

Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by the Mn4Ca cluster in photosystem II (PSII). The nearby redox-active tyrosine (Y-Z) serves as a direct electron acceptor of the Mn4Ca cluster and it forms a low-barrier H-bond (LBHB) with a neighboring histidin ...
