  2. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    Efficient and economical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that could underpin a hydrogen economy. A version of water splitting occurs in photosynthesis, but hydrogen is not produced. The reverse of water splitting is the basis of the hydrogen fuel cell. Water splitting using solar radiation has not been commercialized.

  3. Affine connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_connection

    The pair (P, η) defines the structure of an affine geometry on M, making it into an affine manifold. The affine Lie algebra aff(n) splits as a semidirect product of R n and gl(n) and so η may be written as a pair (θ, ω) where θ takes values in R n and ω takes values in gl(n).

  4. Photocatalytic water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photocatalytic_water_splitting

    The process of water-splitting is a highly endothermic process (ΔH > 0). Water splitting occurs naturally in photosynthesis when the energy of four photons is absorbed and converted into chemical energy through a complex biochemical pathway (Dolai's or Kok's S-state diagrams). [3] O–H bond homolysis in water requires energy of 6.5 - 6.9 eV ...

  5. Oxygen-evolving complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen-evolving_complex

    The mechanism for splitting water involves absorption of three photons before the fourth provides sufficient energy for water oxidation. [4] Based on a widely accepted theory from 1970 by Kok, the complex can exist in 5 states, denoted S 0 to S 4 , with S 0 the most reduced and S 4 the most oxidized.

  6. Hyperfine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfine_structure

    Here, the electric quadrupole interaction is due to the 14 N-nucleus, the hyperfine nuclear spin-spin splitting is from the magnetic coupling between nitrogen, 14 N (I N = 1), and hydrogen, 1 H (I H = 1 ⁄ 2), and a hydrogen spin-rotation interaction due to the 1 H-nucleus. These contributing interactions to the hyperfine structure in the ...

  7. Spin connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_connection

    It is induced, in a canonical manner, from the affine connection. It can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local Lorentz transformations . In some canonical formulations of general relativity, a spin connection is defined on spatial slices and can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local rotations .

  8. Aqueous two-phase system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_two-phase_system

    It is a common observation that when oil and water are poured into the same container, they separate into two phases or layers, because they are immiscible.In general, aqueous (or water-based) solutions, being polar, are immiscible with non-polar organic solvents (cooking oil, chloroform, toluene, hexane etc.) and form a two-phase system.

  9. Water model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model

    A water model is defined by its geometry, together with other parameters such as the atomic charges and Lennard-Jones parameters. In computational chemistry, a water model is used to simulate and thermodynamically calculate water clusters, liquid water, and aqueous solutions with explicit solvent, often using molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo methods.
