Successful completion of the project will result in the development of devices that utilise redox active manganese clusters to catalyse the oxidation of water. This achievement would place us at the forefront of international efforts to develop devices that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, an endeavour which has the potential to solve pressing energy demands. As an added benefit, these devices can be adapted for the purposes of carrying out the catalytic oxidation of organic substrates, for which a variety of industrial and environmental applications can be envisaged.

该项目的成功完成将导致利用氧化还原活性锰簇催化水氧化的设备的开发。这一成就将使我们站在国际努力的前列，开发能够将水分解为氢和氧的装置，这一努力有可能解决紧迫的能源需求。作为额外的益处，这些装置可适用于进行有机底物的催化氧化的目的，为此可设想各种工业和环境应用。
