Catalysts in solar fuel research have greatly increased in the last few years. Significantly, the development of molecular, selective, and faster catalysts for both water oxidation or water reduction based on polyoxometalates has lead to advances in the understanding of water splitting systems. Recent studies have combined molecular catalysts with substrates or electrode surfaces in order to evaluate these catalysts when immobilized. Quantitative and qualitative investigations of molecular speciation and the catalytic mechanism during water oxidation with polyoxometalates are not simple, but recent reports have provided multiple complementary physicochemical, spectroscopic, and other techniques for the comprehension of catalyst stability. This review provides an up-to-date assessment of polyoxometalate-based water oxidation/reduction catalysts as well as immobilized species for the production of solar fuel. |
