Theoretical understanding of water splitting by analyzing nanocatalyst photoabsorption spectra by Gollapalli Prince, Caspary Toroker Maytal

“…For instance, the signature of the dominant absorption peak at 580 nm in the observed spectra of Fe2O3 photoanode can shed light on the oxygen evolution reaction mechanism since each reaction intermediate affects the absorption spectrum, and the absorption coefficient in turn affects the photocurrent. In the recent decade, a combination of different theoretical methods starting from density functional theory up to Bethe–Salpeter equation accounting for excitonic effects helped to establish that the *O intermediate is the rate limiting step in agreement with experimental data. …”

Efficiently regulating the electrochromic behavior of naphthalene-diimide-based zirconium-organic frameworks through linker installation by Cha Li, Hao Zhang, Feifan Lang, Yanghe Liu, Lin Xu, Xiao-Juan Xi, Yang Li, Jiandong Pang, Hong-Cai Zhou, Xian-He Bu

“…Abstract Redox-active metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have already demonstrated their unique advantages in the field of electrochromism over the past decade. However, controlling and modulating the electrochromic behaviors in specific MOFs remains a significant challenge, as most of the cases reported so far are achieved by designing and constructing new MOFs. …”
