\nAbstract<\/strong> \u2014 Solar fuel pro\u00adduc\u00adtion is an impor\u00adtant tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal chal\u00adlenge, con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading that the ener\u00adgy of sun\u00adlight that strikes the earth\u2019s sur\u00adface in an hour is suf\u00adfi\u00adcient to meet our ener\u00adgy demands for a year. Irre\u00adspec\u00adtive of the approach that is pur\u00adsued, oxy\u00adgen evo\u00adlu\u00adtion from water is the crit\u00adi\u00adcal reac\u00adtion, because water is the only cheap, clean and abun\u00addant source that is capa\u00adble of com\u00adplet\u00ading the redox cycle for pro\u00adduc\u00ading either hydro\u00adgen (from H2<\/sub>O) or car\u00adbona\u00adceous fuels (from CO2<\/sub>) on a ter\u00adawatt scale. Here, we will show our recent stud\u00adies in meso\u00adporous spinel sys\u00adtems, which sug\u00adgest the met\u00adal sit\u00adting at the octa\u00adhe\u00addral site has huge impact on the water oxi\u00adda\u00adtion activ\u00adi\u00adty of spinel cat\u00ada\u00adlysts. Anoth\u00ader top\u00adic will be dis\u00adcussed in the pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion is the devel\u00adop\u00adment of selec\u00adtive and robust CO2<\/sub> reduc\u00adtion elec\u00adtro\u00adcat\u00ada\u00adlyst. We will present a nanoporous Ag elec\u00adtro\u00adcat\u00ada\u00adlyst, which is able to elec\u00adtro\u00adchem\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly reduce CO2<\/sub> to CO with a ~92% selec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty at a rate (i.e. cur\u00adrent) of over 3000 times high\u00ader than its poly\u00adcrys\u00adtalline coun\u00adter\u00adpart under a mod\u00ader\u00adate over\u00adpo\u00adten\u00adtial of less than 0.50 V. Such an excep\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly high activ\u00adi\u00adty is a result of a large elec\u00adtro\u00adchem\u00adi\u00adcal sur\u00adface area (ca. 150 times larg\u00ader) and intrin\u00adsi\u00adcal\u00adly high activ\u00adi\u00adties (ca. 20 times high\u00ader) com\u00adpared to poly\u00adcrys\u00adtalline Ag.
