人工模拟光合作用水裂解催化中心Mn_4Ca-簇的研究进展

Mimicking the catalytic center of Mn_4Ca-cluster for the water-splitting reaction in photosynthesis

人工模拟光合作用水裂解催化中心,制备高效、廉价人工水裂解催化剂,获得电能和(或)氢能,被认为是解决人类社会所面临的能源危机和环境污染问题的理想途径.对该方面的研究具有重要的科学意义和应用价值,同时也是广受关注的重大科学前沿.本文对最近生物水裂解催化中心和其人工模拟研究进展进行了评述.

Mimicking the catalytic center for water-splitting reaction in photosynthesis,to prepare efficient and low-cost artificial catalysts and produce electric energy and/or hydrogen energy by using sun light and water,has been considered to be an ideal method to solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution of our society. This is a well-known major scientific frontier and could have important influence for both fundamental scientific research and potential application. Here,recent investigations on the water-splitting catalyst in natural and artificial photosynthesis have been reviewed.
