<p><i>Operando</i> spectroelectrochemical analysis is used to determine the water oxidation reaction kinetics for hematite photoanodes prepared using four different synthetic procedures. Whilst these photoanodes exhibit very different current / voltage performance, their underlying water oxidation kinetics are found to be almost invariant. Lower photoanode performance was found to correlate with the observation of optical signals indicative of charge accumulation in mid-gap oxygen vacancy states, indicating these states do not contribute directly to water oxidation.</p>

The complex [Ru(NCN-Me)(bpy)H2O](PF6)2 acts as an active catalyst for the photo-driven oxidation of water, when employed with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as photosensitizer and Na2S2O8 as sacrificial electron acceptor at pH 6.5 phosphate buffer, with a TON of 130.

Water oxidation reaction involves a four electron-proton coupled process that is kinetically sluggish and has hindered the widespread application of water-splitting technology. Metal-MOF-coupled heterostructures serve as good OER electrocatalysts due...
