Two-electron water oxidation is an energy-efficient way for solar energy conversion and one of the promising candidates to get through the bottleneck of artificial photosynthesis, photon-flux density problem. In light of renewable energy factor (REF) that is defined by Energy output/Energy input, for the realization of practical systems, the energy input for catalyst preparation have much importance. Herein, we report a facile, cost-effective and environment benign synthesis of zinc (II) 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4'-yeporphyrin (ZnTMPyP) in water at room temperature. We observed coordination of water molecules to the central Zn (II) ion of ZnTMPyP and four-step protolytic equilibria among five axially ligated species. Electrochemical and controlled potential electrolysis experiments, as well as theoretical DFT calculation, showed that ZnTMPyP(OH) (O-) exhibits the two-electron water oxidation to form hydrogen peroxide as the primary product initiated by one-electron oxidation process of the catalyst with a moderate turnover frequency (96.4 s(-1)) and a small over-potential (similar to 60 mV). Isotope-labeled studies clearly showed that water molecule served as an oxygen atom source in the formation of hydrogen peroxide.
