“…Exploring the synergistic effect between heterometallic ions in the cubane skeleton is an appealing avenue for enhancing catalyst activity. However, there have been few studies in this area so far, and the activities of the catalysts produced are yet unsatisfying [9a,52–53,81] . In addition, the functional groups such as carboxylate and imidazole in the protein environment of OEC also play important roles in improving performance, which deserves a more in‐depth study.…”

To address the ever‐increasing societal demand for clean energy, electrocatalytic water splitting has attracted considerable interest for the efficient production of H2 and O2. However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is inherently sluggish and poses significant challenge to the overall water splitting process. As a result, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to pursuing various approaches in developing efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation. The oxygen‐evolving center (OEC) of Photosystem II (PS II) is a natural model giving the prominent reference. Hence, this review discusses the recent advances in the design of artificial electrocatalyst inspired by PS II. The discussion begins with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of electrocatalytic water oxidation and PS II. Subsequently, the progress of the novel electrocatalysts inspired by PS II is presented in the following two aspects: engineering various transition metal clusters to mimic the inorganic metal cluster of OEC (Mn4O5Ca), and utilizing different ligands to simulate the protein and amino acid environment around [Mn4O5Ca]. In addition to outlying the structures, catalytic activity, and corresponding mechanisms of these prepared catalysts, this present review concludes by proposing several effective development perspectives to this emerging field that warrant further investigation.

Serendipitous formation of oxygen-bridged CuII6M (M = Mn^II, Co^II) double cubanes showing electrocatalytic water oxidation

Abstract: Hydroxido-bridged CuII6M double-cubane clusters (M = MnII, CoII) supported by D-penicillaminedisulfide were unexpectedly formed by treating a D-penicillaminato CuII2PtII2 complex with MBr2 in water. The clusters displayed heterogeneous electrocatalytic activities...
