| Research Abstract |
The decomposition of water to oxygen/hydrogen by the renewable energy and its inverse reaction, oxygen reduction to water, are fundamental ones in hydrogen economy. Creation of catalysts to perform both four-electron reactions in high energy-efficiency is important for realizing it. However, since the existing catalysts are still immature and less efficient, we have studied to obtain deep understanding on these reactions modeling of metalloenzymes, which work in photosynthesis and respiration. According to this research, we succeeded to elucidate both reactions mechanism with elaborate (functional) models of the enzymes and to propose them as the excellent molecule catalysts.
