<p>Photosynthetic water splitting (or <a href="Oxygen_evolution" title="Oxygen evolution">oxygen evolution</a>) is one of the most important reactions on the planet, since it is the source of nearly all the atmosphere's oxygen. Moreover, artificial photosynthetic water-splitting may contribute to the effective use of sunlight as an alternative energy source.
