Temperature-Dependent Water Oxidation Kinetics: Implications and Insights.

ABSTRACT: As a vital process for solar fuel synthesis, water oxidation remains a challenging reaction to perform using durable and cost-effective systems. Despite decades of intense research, our understanding of the detailed processes involved is still limited, particularly under photochemical conditions. Recent research has shown that the overall kinetics of water oxidation by a molecular dyad depends on the coordination between photocharge generation and the subsequent chemical steps. This work explores similar effects of heterogeneous solar water oxidation systems. By varying a key variable, the reaction temperature, we discovered distinctly different behaviors on two model systems, TiO₂ and Fe₂O₃. TiO₂ exhibited a monotonically increasing water oxidat
