Cover Story: Hydrogen and oxygen production from water splitting is a green and clean energy production method. Efficient water decomposition catalysts are the key to the wide use of water decomposition. In this work, six manganese containing polyoxometalate (Mnx-POMs) with different structures of Mn-O clusters and Mn oxidation states were selected from the literature, and their electrocatalytic water oxidation properties in solution and composite membrane were compared. The results show that Mn14-POM has the best catalytic performance because it has a Mn-O cluster cubic structure, which is similar to the photocatalytic active center (PSII), and their Mn have the same oxidation state. These two laws are conducive to further screening high-performance water oxidation catalysts. View this paper
