Recently, significant progress has been seen in polyoxometalate-based light-driven water oxidation, a study carried out by the team of Associate Professor Zhang Zhiming, Professor Li Yangguang, Professor Wang Enbo and postgraduates of grade 2012 including Han Xinbao in the Key Laboratory of Polyoxometalate Science of the Ministry of Education of Faculty of Chemistry in NENU. Relevant results reported in the article “Polyoxometalate-Based Cobalt−Phosphate Molecular Catalysts for Visible Light-Driven Water Oxidation” has been published in the J. Am. Chem. Soc.. A series of all-inorganic, abundant-metal-based, high-nuclearity cobalt-phosphate molecular catalysts were synthesized in the study. Further research is under way.
