Abstract
Abstract Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a bottleneck for electrocatalytic water‐splitting to generate hydrogen. However, the traditional adsorbed evolution mechanism (AEM) possesses sluggish reaction kinetics due to the scaling relationship, while lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) triggers an unstable structure due to the escaping of lattice oxygen. Herein, a proof‐of‐concept Fe‐Co(OH) 2 /Fe 2 O 3 heterostructure is put forward, where Fe‐Co(OH) 2 following AEM can complete rapidly deprotonation process while Fe 2 O 3 following LOM can trigger O─O coupling step. Combining the theoretical and experimental investigation confirmed that the redistributed space‐charge of Fe‐Co(OH) 2 /Fe 2 O 3 junction can…
