Abstract

Abstract Understanding of fundamental mechanism and kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal for designing efficient OER electrocatalysts owing to its key role in electrochemical energy conversion devices. In the past few years, the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism (LOM) arising from the anodic redox chemistry has attracted significant attention as it involves a direct O─O coupling and thus bypasses thermodynamic limitations in the traditional adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM). Transition metal‐based oxyhydroxides are generally acknowledged as the real catalytic phase in alkaline media. In particular, their low‐dimensional layered structures offer sufficient structural flexibility to…
