This project focuses on developing molecular copper catalysts for water oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions, essential for solar fuel production. By studying the catalytic mechanisms and optimizing the design principles, the goal is to create highly efficient artificial catalysts that mimic natural enzymes.
Water oxidation (WO) and oxygen reduction (OR) are crucial reactions to produce and to consume solar fuels.
It is important that WO and OR occur with very high catalytic rates with only a very small thermodynamic driving force (i.e. a small overpotential).
In these terms, natural catalysts perform significantly better than the artificial systems.
Especially the copper enzyme Laccase operates fast at a low overpotential.
In principle one could use the same design principles used in the enzymatic…
