Abstract

The study of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) mechanism is vital for advancing our understanding of this pivotal energy conversion process. This review synthesizes recent advancements in OER mechanism, emphasizing the intricate relationship between catalytic mechanisms and catalyst design. This review discusses the connotation and cutting-edge progress of traditional mechanisms such as adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) as well as emerging pathways including oxide path mechanism (OPM), oxo-oxo coupling mechanism (OCM), and intramolecular oxygen coupling mechanism (IMOC) etc. Innovative research progress on the coexistence and transformation of multiple mechanisms is highlighted, and the intrinsic factors that influence these dynamic processes are summarized. Advanced characterization techniques and theoretical modeling are underscored as indispensable tools for revealing these complex interactions. This review provides guiding principles for mechanism-based catalyst design. Finally, in view of the multidimensional challenges currently faced by OER mechanisms, prospects for future research are given to bridge the gap between mechanism innovation and experimental verification and application. This comprehensive review provides valuable perspectives for advancing clean energy technologies and achieving sustainable development.
