Molecular Water Oxidation Catalysis: A Key Topic for New Sustainable Energy Conversion Schemes presents a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of water oxidation catalysis in homogeneous phase, describing in detail the most important catalysts discovered today based on first and second row transition metals. A strong emphasis is placed on the description of their performance, as well as how they work from a mechanistic perspective. In addition, a theoretical description of some of the most relevant catalysts based on DFT are presented, as well as a description of related natural systems, such as the oxygen evolving system of photosystem II and the heme chlorite-dismutase.
This book is a valuable resource for researchers working on water oxidation catalysis, solar energy conversion and artificial photosynthesis, as well as for chemists and materials scientists with a broad interest in new sustainable energy conversion schemes.
نبذة عن المؤلف
Professor Dr. Antoni Llobet, Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
Professor Llobet is one of the world leaders on water oxidation catalysis. He has been working in the field of redox catalysis for 25 years; his research interests include the development of tailored transition metal complexes as catalysts for selective organic and inorganic transformations including the oxidation of water to molecular dioxygen, supramolecular catalysis, the activation of C-H and C-F bonds, and the preparation low molecular weight complexes as models of the active sites of oxidative metalloproteins.
In 2000, Professor Llobet received the Distinction Award from Generalitat de Catalunya for Young Scientists and in 2011 he was awarded the Bruker Prize in Inorganic Chemistry from the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). He is the author of over 120 research publications.
