Abstract
The development of new recyclable and inexpensive electrochemically active species for water oxidation catalysis is the most crucial step for future utilization of renewables. Particularly, transition metal complexes containing internal multiple, cooperative metal centers to couple with redox catalysts in the inorganic Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) framework at high potential or under extreme pH conditions would be promising candidates. However, most reported Ni-containing POMs have been highly unstable towards hydrolytic decomposition, which precludes them from application as water oxidation catalysts (WOCs). Here, we have prepared new tri-Ni-containing POMs with variable oxidation states by charge tailored synthetic strategies for the first time and developed them as recyclable POMs for water oxidation catalysts. In addition, by implanting corresponding POM anions into the positively charged MIL-101(Cr) metal-organic framework (MOF), the entrapped Ni2+/Ni3+ species can show complete recyclability for water oxidation catalysis without encountering uncontrolled hydrolysis of the POM framework. As a result, a low onset potential of approximately 1.46 V vs. NHE for water oxidation with stable WOC performance is recorded. Based on this study, rational design and stabilization of other POM-electrocatalysts containing different multiple transition metal centres could be made possible.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs), a kind of molecular metal oxide cluster with unique physical-chemical properties, have made essential contributions to creating efficient and robust electrocatalysts in renewable energy systems. Due to the fundamental advantages of POMs, such as the diversity of molecular structures and large numbers of redox active sites, numerous efforts have been devoted to extending their application areas. Up to now, various strategies of assembling POM molecules into superstructures, supporting POMs on heterogeneous substrates, and POMs-derived metal compounds have been developed for synthesizing electrocatalysts. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the latest advances in creating POM-structured materials with a unique focus on their molecular fundamentals, electrocatalytic roles, and the recent breakthroughs of POMs and POM-derived electrocatalysts, are systematically summarized. Notably, this paper focuses on exposing the current states, essences, and mechanisms of how POM-structured materials influence their electrocatalytic activities and discloses the critical requirements for future developments. The future challenges, objectives, comparisons, and perspectives for creating POM-structured materials are also systematically discussed. It is anticipated that this review will offer a substantial impact on stimulating interdisciplinary efforts for the prosperities and widespread utilizations of POM-structured materials in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) have a broad array of applied platforms with well-characterized catalysis to achieve N-H bond activation. Herein, the mechanism of the Anderson-type POM-based catalyst [FeIIIMoVI6O18{(OCH2)3CNH2}2]3- ([TrisFeIIIMoVI6O18]3-, Tris = {(OCH2)3CNH2}2) for the N-H bond activation of hydrazine (PhHNNHPh) was investigated by density functional theory calculations. The results reveal that [TrisFeIIIMoVI6O18]3- as the active species is responsible for the continuous abstraction of two electrons and two protons of PhHNNHPh via a proton-coupled electron transfer pathway, resulting in the activation of two N-H bonds in PhHNNHPh and thus the product PhNNPh. H2O2 acts as an oxidant to regulate catalyst regeneration. Based on the proposed catalytic mechanism, the key role of the heteroatom FeIII in [TrisFeIIIMoVI6O18]3- was disclosed. The d-orbital of FeIII in [TrisFeIIIMoVI6O18]3- acts as an electron receptor to promote the electron transfer (ET) in the rate-determining step (RDS) of the catalytic cycle. The substitution of the heteroatom FeIII of [TrisFeIIIMoVI6O18]3- with CoIII, RuIII, or MnIII is expected to improve the catalytic activity for several reasons: (i) the unoccupied molecular orbitals of POM-based compounds containing CoIII or RuIII are low, which is beneficial for the ET of RDS; (ii) For N-H bond activation catalyzed by the MnIII-containing POM-based compound, the transition state of RDS is stable because the d-orbital of its active site is half-filled, which results in a low free-energy barrier.

Abstract
Benzene hydroxylation catalyzed by ruthenium-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates [RuV(O)XW11O39]n- (RuVOX; X = Al, Ga, Si, Ge, P, As, S; heteroatoms; 3 ≤ n ≤ 6) is investigated using the density functional theory approach. As a possible side reaction, the water oxidation reaction is also considered. We found that the rate-determining step for water oxidation by RuVOX requires a higher activation free energy than the benzene hydroxylation reaction, suggesting that all of the RuVOX catalysts show high chemoselectivity toward benzene hydroxylation. Additionally, the heteroatom effect in benzene hydroxylation by RuVOX is discussed. The replacement of Si by X induces changes in the bond length of μ4O-X, resulting in a change in the activation free energy for benzene hydroxylation by RuVOX. Consequentially, RuVOS is expected to be the most effective catalyst among the (RuVOX) catalysts for the benzene hydroxylation reaction.

Abstract
Despite their technological importance for water splitting, the reaction mechanisms of most water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) are poorly understood. This paper combines theoretical and experimental methods to reveal mechanistic insights into the reactivity of the highly active molecular manganese vanadium oxide WOC [Mn4V4O17(OAc)3]3- in aqueous acetonitrile solutions. Using density functional theory together with electrochemistry and IR-spectroscopy, we propose a sequential three-step activation mechanism including a one-electron oxidation of the catalyst from [Mn2 3+Mn2 4+] to [Mn3+Mn3 4+], acetate-to-water ligand exchange, and a second one-electron oxidation from [Mn3+Mn3 4+] to [Mn4 4+]. Analysis of several plausible ligand exchange pathways shows that nucleophilic attack of water molecules along the Jahn-Teller axis of the Mn3+ centers leads to significantly lower activation barriers compared with attack at Mn4+ centers. Deprotonation of one water ligand by the leaving acetate group leads to the formation of the activated species [Mn4V4O17(OAc)2(H2O)(OH)]- featuring one H2O and one OH ligand. Redox potentials based on the computed intermediates are in excellent agreement with electrochemical measurements at various solvent compositions. This intricate interplay between redox chemistry and ligand exchange controls the formation of the catalytically active species. These results provide key reactivity information essential to further study bio-inspired molecular WOCs and solid-state manganese oxide catalysts.

Abstract
Isolated atoms featuring unique reactivity are at the heart of enzymatic and homogeneous catalysts. In contrast, although the concept has long existed, single-atom heterogeneous catalysts (SACs) have only recently gained prominence. Host materials have similar functions to ligands in homogeneous catalysts, determining the stability, local environment, and electronic properties of isolated atoms and thus providing a platform for tailoring heterogeneous catalysts for targeted applications. Within just a decade, we have witnessed many examples of SACs both disrupting diverse fields of heterogeneous catalysis with their distinctive reactivity and substantially enriching our understanding of molecular processes on surfaces. To date, the term SAC mostly refers to late transition metal-based systems, but numerous examples exist in which isolated atoms of other elements play key catalytic roles. This review provides a compositional encyclopedia of SACs, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the introduction of this term. By defining single-atom catalysis in the broadest sense, we explore the full elemental diversity, joining different areas across the whole periodic table, and discussing historical milestones and recent developments. In particular, we examine the coordination structures and associated properties accessed through distinct single-atom-host combinations and relate them to their main applications in thermo-, electro-, and photocatalysis, revealing trends in element-specific evolution, host design, and uses. Finally, we highlight frontiers in the field, including multimetallic SACs, atom proximity control, and possible applications for multistep and cascade reactions, identifying challenges, and propose directions for future development in this flourishing field.

Abstract
Herein, the geometry, electronic structure, Fe-ligand bonding nature and simulated IR spectrum of α-Keggin, lacunary Keggin, iron(ii/iii)-substituted and the important oxidized high-valent iron derivatives of Keggin type polyoxometalates have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT/OPTX-PBE) method and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The effects of different Fe oxidation states (ii-vi) and H2O/OH-/O2- ligand interactions have been addressed concerning their geometry and electronic structures. It has been revealed that the d-atomic orbitals of Fe and 2p orbitals of polyoxometalate's oxygen-atoms contribute in ligand binding. Compared with other high valent species, the considered polyoxometalate system of [PW11O39(FeVO)]4-, possesses a high reactivity for oxygen transfer.

Abstract
The performance of MnII/III-monosubstituted heteropolytungstates [MnIII(H2O)GeW11O39]5- ([GT-MnIII-OH2]5-, where GT = GeW11O39) and [MnII(H2O)GeW11O39]6- ([GT-MnII-OH2]6-) as water oxidation catalysts at pH 9 was explored using density functional theory calculations. The counterion effect was fully considered, in which five and six Na+ ions were included in the calculations for water oxidation catalyzed by [GT-MnIII-OH2]5- and [GT-MnII-OH2]6-, respectively. The process of water oxidation catalysis was divided into three elemental stages: (i) oxidative activation, (ii) O-O bond formation, and (iii) O2 evolution. In the oxidative activation stage, two electrons and two protons are removed from [Na5-GT-MnIII-OH2] and three electrons and two protons are removed from [Na6-GT-MnII-OH2]. Therefore, the MnIV-O• species [Na5-GT-MnIV-O•] is obtained. Two mechanisms, (i) water nucleophilic attack and (ii) oxo-oxo coupling, were demonstrated to be competitive in O-O bond formation triggered from [Na5-GT-MnIV-O•]. In the last stage, the O2 molecule could be readily evolved from the peroxo or dinuclear species and the catalyst returns to the ground state after the coordination of a water molecule(s).

Abstract
The design of efficient and robust water oxidation catalysts has proven challenging in the development of artificial photosynthetic systems for solar energy harnessing and storage. Tremendous progress has been made in the development of homogeneous transition-metal complexes capable of mediating water oxidation. To improve the efficiency of the catalyst and to design new catalysts, a detailed mechanistic understanding is necessary. Quantum chemical modeling calculations have been successfully used to complement the experimental techniques to suggest a catalytic mechanism and identify all stationary points, including transition states for both O-O bond formation and O2 release. In this review, recent progress in the applications of quantum chemical methods for the modeling of homogeneous water oxidation catalysis, covering various transition metals, including manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, and iridium, is discussed.

Abstract
It is reported that visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm) can improve Ag(i)-catalyzed water oxidation into O2 with S2O82− remarkably. The photo-assistant results from the absorbance of the AgO+ species at 375 nm, promoting the rate-determining step (AgO+ + H2O → Ag+ + H2O2). A reasonable mechanism has been proposed.

Abstract
This article reviews recent developments and applications in the area of computational electrochemistry. Our focus is on predicting the reduction potentials of electron transfer and other electrochemical reactions and half-reactions in both aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. Topics covered include various computational protocols that combine quantum mechanical electronic structure methods (such as density functional theory) with implicit-solvent models, explicit-solvent protocols that employ Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations (for example, Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics using the grand canonical ensemble formalism), and the Marcus theory of electronic charge transfer. We also review computational approaches based on empirical relationships between molecular and electronic structure and electron transfer reactivity. The scope of the implicit-solvent protocols is emphasized, and the present status of the theory and future directions are outlined.
