Abstract

Anodic oxygen evolution has gained significant prominence in electrochemical research in the last decade in connection with renewable electricity storage. With water being the only available fossil free source of hydrogen, which is deemed the primary storage medium, the water electrolysis optimization is one of the biggest challenges of today's electrochemistry. A development of novel oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is motivated to increase the feasibility of the current OER catalysts in terms of activity, stability and price. This review summarizes the most recent synthetic approaches in OER catalyst synthesis for acid and alkaline electrolyzers stressing the structural aspects of the proposed catalysts. The reported novel catalyst approaches are aligned with existing theoretical and experiment-based descriptors for rational of oxygen evolution activity improvement.
