Abstract
In the last five years and currently, research on solar fuels has been intense and no sub-area in this field has been more active than the development of water oxidation catalysts (WOCs). In this timeframe, a new class of molecular water oxidation catalysts based on polyoxometalates have been reported that combine the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. This review addresses central issues in green energy generation, the challenges in water oxidation catalyst development, and the possible uses of polyoxometalates in green energy science.
